Krzyżtopór Castle in Ujazd was built for Krzysztof Ossoliński, Voivode of Sandomierz. The infobox and a later passage name Wawrzyniec Senes as architect, but the text also says the architect's name is unknown. The infobox gives a start in 1621 and completion around 1644. The text says the start is unknown, the first documented work dates from 1627 and he probably finished it in 1644.
The infobox calls the style Polish Mannerism and early Baroque. The text describes a palazzo in fortezza modeled on the Farnese palace at Caprarola. The site covers 1.3 hectares, with perimeter walls of about 2,300 feet (700 m). Reported features such as 365 windows and four towers are marked unverified. It names no materials.
Swedes pillaged it in 1655, and Russians completed its ruin in 1770. About 90 percent of the walls survive. It became a Historic Monument of Poland on April 20, 2018. The article gives no hours.
