|
Pieskowa Skała is a Renaissance castle in Poland north of Krakow in the Polish Jura. 30 km from Cracow and 70 km from the Upper Silesian Conurbation near the minor road No. 773, 10 km from the main road No. 4; on the hill rising above the picturesque valley of the River Prądnik and surrounded by the forests of the Ojców National Park, 8 km from the attractive village of Ojców (the villas and buildings of the old resort, ruins of a castle, Łokietek Cave and the Dark Cave); on the Route of Eagles' Nests connecting ruins of 7 castles situated on the hills of the Cracow and Częstochowa Upland.
The exhibition presents changes in European art from the Middle Ages till the 20th century. All exhibits belong to the Wawel collection, because no historical appointments of the castle have survived. Temporarily, for the time of restoration work, only a small exhibition in 3 rooms is accessible. After the renovation the main exhibition will be arranged in a new artistic form. |
