Castle Hill

Hilltop castle site with the Romanesque rotunda and Piast Tower

Castle Hill is Cieszyn's essential stop. The medieval castle itself was mostly lost, but the site still holds the round 11th-century chapel of St. Nicholas and St. Wenceslas, one of the oldest Romanesque buildings in Poland, and the 14th-century Piast Tower. Climb the tower for the best view over the Olza, Cieszyn, and Český Těšín.
