In the late 16th century Stanisław Sobek of Sulejów (Brochwicz coat-of-arms), castellan of Sandomierz and treasurer of the crown, started construction of a castle upon River Nida and founded the town of Sobków. Well-preserved part of the stronghold was adapted for tourist purposes and became a real attraction for visitors. There is a nice restaurant and a hotel which offers overnight stays in original chambers located in place of the former treasury.
