The Royal Castle in Chęciny was built on a rocky hill top (9367 mamsl) at the turn of XIII and XIV century. The first references to the castle appear in Władysław the Short’s document from the year 1306, in which he stated a confirmation for the entrustment of the castle, together with eleven villages, to a Bishop of Cracow, Jan Muskata (with whom the prince had settled a temporary dispute for purely political reasons). In the document, the royal castle (castrum nostrum ducale), is specifically mentioned. However there is some evidence that in the year 1308 the fortalice was back in Wladyslaw the Short’s hands. Supposedly, at that time, the castle in Chęciny was a centre of chivalry administration, and in the later decades of XVI century, it became a county’s judicial abode.
