(Translated by Google) A cool, atmospheric place. Tickets can be purchased from vending machines at the entrance, a bit pricey, but it's worth seeing the interior (there were no lines at 9:30 AM). The entire tour takes about an hour and is a bit crowded due to the castle's many narrow passages. Overall, I recommend it, even with children. (Original) Fajne klimatyczne miejsce. Bilety można kupić w automatach przed wejściem, trochę drogie ale warto zobaczyć również wnętrza ( o 9:30 nie było jeszcze kolejek). Przejście całości zajmuje około godziny i jest trochę tłoczno gdyż w zamku jest dużo wąskich przejść. Ogólnie polecam nawet z dziećmi.
