Niedzica Castle – the fortified castle picturesquely located on a rock above the Dunajec river was erected in the first part of the 14th century by the offspring of Hungarian family Berzevicza that was owning the lands at those times. The castle was extended in the 15th, 16th, and 18th century by the next Hungarian owners of Niedzica. Nowadays, there are only ruins from the Gothic castle. However, some parts of the castle have survived: the prison cells, private chambers, and the part of a painting from the castle shrine presenting the Crucifixion of the Christ. The latter buildings make a complex with a courtyard surrounded by private apartments with roofed porches, towers and fortified walls. In 1963 after the renovation the castle was opened to tourists.

            Museum in Niedzica collects archaeological artifacts from the castle, relics of the castle interior design, prints and engravings presenting the castle in variou periods, and historical documentation. In the museum's collection there are many ethnographic exhibits from the Spisz region, among them an interesting collection of antique clocks. Due to the Hungarian ancestry of the castle, Akos Engelmayer – in 1990 – 1995 the Hungarian ambassador in Poland donated his collection of Hungarian – related items such as: maps of Hungary made in 16th - 20th centuries, engravings depicting Hungarian kings, castles, cities, battle fields etc. - which is expected to become the largerst collection of Hungarian – related items outside of Hungary.
