“The Krzyżtopór castle – a magical and mysterious monument, lost among the fields of the Opatowska Land (…), in less than five years after the construction completion, a family became extinct, a family, whose greatness and glory was to be perpetuated by this magnificent building.”
Subsequent wars, uprisings and their consequence – a difficult economic situation – caused that the castle devoid of any reconstruction works fell into disrepair. Since the mid-twentieth century, attempts have been made for the maintenance works to be undertaken, however, these plans have not been fulfilled.
