Zamek:

Na cyplu otoczonym zakolem Dunajca w Roznowie znajduja sie kamienne ruiny zamku. Zostal on wybudowany w XIV w. Na jego temat jest niewiele wzmianek kronikarskich, nie prowadzono tam tez badan archeologicznych. Wiadomo jednak, ze w 1426 r. zamek zakupil Zawisza Czarny. W XVI w. zamek przeszedl w posiadanie rodziny Tarnowskich jako posag wnuczki Zawiszy. Wówczas jednak zdecydowano, iz nie nadaje sie on do rozbudowy i zaczeto budowe nowego zamku w dolnej czesci Roznowa. Opuszczony zamek popadl w ruine.

The castle:

On a promontory surrounded by a bend of the Dunajec river there are stone ruins of a castle. It was built in 14. century. There aren't many mentions in chronicles about it and there weren't any archaeological surveys. But it is known that the castle was bought by Zawisza Czarny - a famous Polish knight. In XVI the castle was taken by the Tarnowski family as a dowry of Zawisza's granddaughter. But they decided that the castle is not suitable for building an extension and started construction of a new castle in the lower part of Roznów. The abandoned castle turned into a ruin.



The cache:

The cache is an unusual container hidden near the ruins of the castle.
