Actually a great atmosphere. However, the rooms still seemed a bit dreary. There was little going on in the restaurant - so the atmosphere was a bit ghostly. The service was nice, but you first have to be called out of the kitchen to be assigned a seat. The food was served quickly - good home cooking without any great creativity. Unfortunately, no card payment was possible yet. Difficult if you want to invite 5 people to eat first. The restaurant has a lot of potential that can still be exploited. Definitely room for improvement.

Very nice location where I always like to take a break during my bike tour on the bike path of the former railway embankment. I'm excited to see what the kitchen is like under the new management and will be stopping by for dinner soon. Until then, it's just a freshly tapped Gaffel-Kölsch. Unfortunately there is no longer any wheat on tap. Too bad.

An excellent place to stop for lunch during a bike trip or hiking in the hills. Beautiful grounds (well, it is a golf course, so what do you expect?) with lots of wild life. The old “castle” is housing a nice bistro offering a nice variety of food and wine. Good coffee too! Prices are very acceptable. You would expect higher prices in such a setting. There’s a splendid big terrace with huge parasols offering plenty of shade. I have been 3 times now, and each time it was nice and easy going. Just the way I like it. Service can be a tad slow, but I believe you should not be in a hurry in such a setting.

Ogrodzieniec Castle Ruins

Ogrodzieniec Castle is a ruined medieval castle originally built in the 14th–15th century by the W³odkowie Sulimczycy family. Established in the early 12th century, during the reign of Boles³aw III Wrymouth, the first stronghold was razed by the Tatars in 1241. In the mid-14th century a new gothic castle was built here to accommodate the Sulimczycy family. Surrounded by three high rocks, the castle was well integrated into the area. The defensive walls were built to close the circuit formed by the rocks, and a narrow opening between two of the rocks served as an entrance.

In 1470 the castle and lands were bought by the wealthy Cracovian townsmen, Ibram and Piotr Salomon. Then, Ogrodzieniec became the property of Jan Feliks Rzeszowski, the rector of Przemy¶l and the canon of Cracow. The owners of the castle about that time were also Jan and Andrzej Rzeszowskis, and later Pilecki and Che³miñski families. In 1523 the castle was bought by Jan Boner.
