The castle in Inowłodz was built on the initiative of King Casimir the Great. It guarded the Łęczyca Land and Lesser Poland against the Lithuanians and defended the crossing over the Pilica River. The castle is believed to have been built in the years 1356-66. It was built on an artificially raised hill surrounded by the Pilica oxbow lake and marshy meadows. Access to it was from the east from the city side. It was a typical lowland castle built on a rectangular plan with dimensions of 49 x 32 x 47 x 31 m. Local sandstone was used for construction. The original castle consisted of peripheral walls, an octagonal tower, a quadrangular tower and an L-shaped house. The whole was surrounded by a moat 20 m wide and 1.5 m deep. Thanks to a special ditch connecting it with the Pilica, it was constantly filled with water. The distance of the walls from the edge of the moat was on average 8 m. zamkiobronne.pl/zamek/inowlodz

St. Giles' Church in Inowłódz

Highlight • Religious Site

The Romanesque church of Saint Giles is one of the oldest brick churches in Poland. Its founder was most likely Prince Władysław Herman, and the occasion for founding the church was the "miraculous" birth of his son, the future king of Poland, Bolesław Krzywousty (year 1085). A stone plaque in the church from a later period (which is burdened with many historical inaccuracies and currently no longer existing) indicated Władysław Herman as the founder of the temple.

Lipiński Family Watermill

Highlight • Structure

The mill is closed and badly damaged. The bridge is falling apart and entry is at your own risk. Basically, there is nothing to even see.

View from the bridge over the Pilica River

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is worth stopping on or near the bridge - especially since there is a plaque commemorating General Tadeusz Buk, who died in the Smolensk disaster. You can find out who the general was.
