This picturesque Silesian castle dating back to the 14th century, and located in the beautiful Cracow – Częstochowa Upland is the site of a spectacular horse show, performed by Polish 16th-18th century "winged cavalry" hussars. The Hussars were famous for their huge "wings", a wooden frame carrying eagle, ostrich, swan or goose feathers. The most common theory is that the hussars wore the wings because they made a loud, clattering noise which made it seem like the cavalry was much larger than in reality and frightened the enemy's horses.
