I was in Rytro. It's a small town in Poland, you can learn more about the area from my previous post, I posted photos of the area from a bird's eye view.
Our goal is this point, today I'm taking you to the castle, follow me! 🙂
Byłem w Rytrze. To mała miejscowość w Polsce, więcej o okolicy dowiecie się z mojego poprzedniego posta, publikowałem zdjęcia okolicy z lotu ptaka.
Naszym celem jest ten oto punkt, dzisiaj zabieram Was na zamek, zapraszam za mną! 😉
The castle can be reached by car very close, however, there is a sign prohibiting entry, this may be due to the fact that a river flows through the road, now, as you can see in the picture, it is a small stream. But apparently it is much bigger, there is a lot of water. I went for a walk, leaving the car at the bottom of the mountain, but people kept going.
Do zamku można podjechać samochodem bardzo blisko, jednakże jest znak zakazu wjazdu, jest to może spowodowane tym, że przez drogę przepływa rzeka, teraz jak widzicie na zdjęciu jest to mały strumyk. Ale podobno bywa o wiele większy, jest sporo wody. Ja poszedłem spacerkiem, zostawiając samochód na dole góry, ale ludzie wjeżdżali dalej.
The aim of our trip is the Medieval Ryterski Castle. It had an observation, residential and defensive function. The entire complex has been reconstructed, but only in part. It was originally much larger, as shown in the graphic outline below.
Celem naszej wycieczki jest Średniowieczny Zamek Ryterski. Miał on funkcję obserwacyjną, mieszkalną i obronną. Cały kompleks został zrekonstruowany, ale tylko w pewnej części. Oryginalnie był o wiele większy, jak na poniższym zarysie graficznym.
The whole approach is overgrown with bushes and trees, and before that there is a forest, on a sunny and hot day it is very good to walk in the shade. Entering the castle, we see a beautiful panorama of the town of Rytro and the nearest mountain ranges of Radziejowa and Jaworzyna Krynicka.
Całość podejście jest zarośnięta krzewami i drzewami, a wcześniej jest las, w słoneczny i gorący dzień bardzo dobrze się idzie w cieniu. Wchodząc na zamek ukazuje nam się piękna panorama miejscowości Rytro, oraz najbliższe górskie pasma Radziejowej i Jaworzyny Krynickiej.
Occasionally special events and family festivities are organized in the courtyard of the castle. The last event took place on August 15, 2023. It was, among others Medieval fashion show, knights' shows, squire's runs, performances of regional bands, fair and history of this castle.
Na dziedzińcu zamku czasami są organizowane imprezy okolicznościowe, festyny rodzinne. Ostatnie wydarzenie miało miejsce 15 sierpnia 2023 roku. Był to m.in. pokaz mody średniowiecznej, pokazy rycerskie, biegi giermka, występy zespołów regionalnych oraz jarmark i przybliżenie historii tego zamku.
It is also possible to climb the walls of the castle. The whole room is illuminated by a roof window, which you can walk on, it's a thick sheet of glass :)
Możliwe jest również wejście na mury zamku. Całość pomieszczenia jest oświetlona dachowym oknem, po którym można chodzić górą, to gruba tafla szkła :)
Walls and a railing allow you to safely move upstairs. It is also possible to climb to the very top of the tower, but the entrance is only open when events are organized. Unfortunately it was closed when I visited.
Mury oraz barierka pozwala bezpiecznie poruszać się na górze. Możliwe jest również wejścia na sam szczyt wieży, ale wejście jest otwarte tylko, gdy są organizowane wydarzenia. Niestety, gdy byłem było zamknięte.
It's worth going here, the views are really beautiful. It is a free place, you can enter here at any time. It must also be nice here at night, maybe someday I'll do a sunset or night report.
Warto się tutaj wybrać, widoki są naprawę piękne. Jest to bezpłatne miejsce, można tutaj wejść w każdej chwili. Musi być tutaj tez ładnie nocą, może kiedyś zrobię relację z zachodu słońca lub nocą.
This is the end of the tour of the castle. I'm flying with a drone, I invite you to visit this place, if you want to look at the surroundings of Rytra, I invite you to take a few photos below 📸
To już koniec zwiedzania zamku. Odlatuję dronem, polecam odwiedzić to miejsce, jeżeli chcecie jeszcze popatrzeć na okolice Rytra to zapraszam na kilka poniższych zdjęć 🙂🙃

Simply love the solitude of the castle. It makes you somehow feel more powerful the energy of ancient times when it played such an important role :)
I was there after a long weekend in Poland, so there were few visitors ;)

What an amazing journey you've taken us on with your words and photographs! Your journey to the Mediaeval Ryterski Castle in Rytro, Poland, sounds enchanting. You've captured everything brilliantly, from the stunning landscapes to the rich history. Climbing the castle walls and taking in the view must have been incredibly breathtaking. It's amazing how this castle has been restored while retaining its historical relevance.
And the unique activities in the castle courtyard sound like an excellent way to bring the castle's history to life.
