History

Sign providing information about the history of Rzemień (in Polish)

The fortification is said to have been built by Stanisław Tarnowski in 1526.[2][3] A manuscript (Document N°. 1826), by the Reverend Franciszek Siarczyński in the Ossolineum library, in Wrocław, Poland records that this village belonged a family called ‘Ocieski’, who were major landowners in the area (also owning Ocieka and Wola Ociecka).[3][4] In 1616 the castle fortification ownership passed to the noble family of ‘Lubomirski’,[5] who in 1620-1640 modernised it with the most up-to-date defences.[2][3][5]
