An interesting place, there is a bit of walking and sightseeing, the ticket is PLN 28 and at this price you can visit 2 floors of the castle with beautiful exhibitions, as well as the stables and coach houses, where you will find exhibitions of animals living in the land of the peasantry and folk exhibitions. I recommend seeing it, although minus 1 star for the lack of a good description of which direction the tourist should go in the castle and park area

The Old Castle in Żywiec is a historic building located in the historic center of Żywiec, built around the 15th century, since 2005 the seat of the Municipal Museum. The history of the castle is very rich, starting with the creators of the first fortifications in the area of the Old Castle, where the Dukes of Oświęcim or Mikołaj Strzała of the Kotwicz coat of arms are mentioned. Subsequent owners: the Skrzyński family of the Łabądź coat of arms, the Komorowski family, the Vasa family, the Wodzicki family, the Greater Poland family, and the Habsburg family, expanded the fortifications by adding more wings, and were inspired by the Wawel Castle. Today, the Castle is owned by the city, which took care of the heritage and took care of the buildings.

I reached Żywiec in the afternoon. The castle itself is located close to the market square, so it's easy to miss it. We were lucky to park in the castle's free parking lot. The castle is beautiful, large and divided into areas to explore. Thanks to the kindness of the ladies working in the castle, we had the opportunity to slowly learn many interesting details with full information from them. It all started with the fact that the castle museum was to be closed in 15 minutes, there were no visitors, so I bought tickets thinking that we would have time to see at least one floor, and such a surprise. Thanks to the kindness of the ladies, the entire tour took us over an hour. After leaving the castle, I suggest taking a walk and resting in the castle park.
