The castle in Korzkwia is a knight's stronghold built in the fourteenth century. Regularly restored slowly returns to its splendor from years ago. Work is also underway to adapt this place to the needs of, among others, a mini museum, restaurant, hotel, multi-purpose room. Near the castle there is a magnificent park created in the nineteenth century with well-preserved stands of old trees, which increasingly serves the local residents and guests who come here in large numbers. Even before World War II, a manor stood in the Korzkiew park. Today, only the outline of the foundations remains. The history of the castle dates back to 1352, when Jan of Syrokomla bought the Korzkiew hill and built a tower on it, which fulfills a defensive and residential function. The next owners were Szczepan Świętopełk from Irzą, merchant Piotr Krupka, the Zborowski and Ługowski families. At the end of the 15th century, in the 16th and 1720s, the building was rebuilt. The castle was then in the hands of the Wesslów and Wodzicki, and at the end of the 19th century it fell into ruin. The architect Jerzy Donimirski undertook a general renovation since 1997.
