Korzkiew is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Zielonki, within Kraków County, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, in southern Poland. It lies approximately 130NaN0 north of the regional capital Kraków.[1]

The Korzkiew Castle was part of the Szlak Orlich Gniazd "Trail of the Eagle's Nests", one of a chain of 14th century (reign of King Casimir) medieval castles that protected the northwestern border of royal Krakow that went all the way to Czestochowa. The castle, Zamek Korzkiew, was restored and currently houses a boutique hotel and a conference center-banquet hall.
