Uniejów Castle is one of the city's most important attractions, picturesquely situated on the left bank of the Warta River. Built between 1360 and 1365 at the initiative of Archbishop Jarosław Bogoria Skotnicki, it replaced an earlier wooden stronghold. For centuries, it served defensive, administrative, and residential functions, and after renovations, it gained Renaissance and Baroque elements. It is surrounded by a romantic landscape park with rare trees, perfect for strolling. Today, the castle houses a hotel, restaurant, and conference center, and the entire structure can be visited, admiring the restored interior and 25-meter-high tower.

Admission is free, and the castle is not locked. Note for campers: waste disposal is available in the parking lot. The castle itself is accessible to people with disabilities – stairs lead to the courtyard, but there is also an elevator (I cannot guarantee its functionality).

It is a Gothic building from the 14th century, founded by the Archbishop of Gniezno – Bogoria Skotnicki, rebuilt in the 16th century. As a result of the war operations in 1939, it was seriously damaged: the roof was burned down and the western gable with the vault collapsed. Right after the war (1945–1946), it was rebuilt and painted in 1958. The greatest historical value in the church is: the Gothic presbytery from the 14th century, side altars from the 17th century. In the chapel of Blessed Bogumił there is a sarcophagus made in bronze in 1667 in Gdańsk.
