The Old Castle in Żywiec is located on the site of a medieval castle, which was destroyed in 1477 as a result of military action of the army of King Kazimierz Jagiellończyk against the Komorowski coat of arms Korczak, described by Jan Długosz. The castle was rebuilt in the years 1485-1500; further expansion took place in 1567 and was carried out by the Komorowski family. Thanks to the efforts of Jan Spytek Komorowski, an arcaded Renaissance courtyard was built, which has been preserved in its original layout to this day. Since 2005, the Old Castle has been the seat of the City Museum in Żywiec. As part of the museum's permanent exhibitions, you can watch, among others an ethnographic exhibition complementing the wooden architecture trail of the Śląskie Voivodeship.
