Janowiec Castle

Frommer's Staff

It's worth the hike up here to see this partially restored 16th-century castle. The original building fell into ruins in the 19th century, and a rehab is now slowly bringing the castle back to life. The controversial restoration involves leaving part of the castle as a ruin and using bright colors to enhance the architecture. The castle houses a Museum of Royal Interiors. The surrounding park is home to an open-air architecture museum.
