The castle was built between 1591-1606 for the Leszczynski family by the Italian architect Santi Gucci. Today, the renovated castle houses the Sulfur Museum, the only one of its kind in Poland, as well as the Interiors Museum.
So there.
And many of you did not think I knew anything.

Mike Mike, I realised many times you possess deep thinking and power of intellect which, normally hidden, you reveal to us from time to time. Like now. Mirow castle Mirów Castle (Polish: Zamek w Mirowie) is a 14th-century castle, now ruined, located in the Mirów village, Silesian Voivodeship, Poland. It changed owners multiple times, and was finally abandoned in 1787.      |

One of the greatest castles, I think is, Malbork. It is up north in Poland.
It was built gradually from 1275 until the middle of the 14th. century. Those of you who don't know it, check it out.

Kórnik Castle (Polish: Zamek w Kórniku or Zamek Kórnicki) is a castle in the Polish town of Kórnik, which was constructed in the 14th century. The current neogothic design and remodeling was done in 1855 by the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel for Tytus Działyński and the son Jan Kanty Działyński. After last member of Działyński family Jan Kanty Działyński's death, his brother-in-law Count Władysław Zamoyski received the castle in Jan's will. Shortly before his death in 1924, the childless count willed the castle, along with an extensive art collection and the Kórnik Arboretum to the Polish state.
The castle currently houses a museum and the Kórnik Library. It's one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments (Pomnik historii), as designated July 11, 2011 and tracked by the National Heritage Board of Poland.       |

That's why they say, don't judge a book by it's cover. Still waters run deep.

Książ Castle described here OMG! I have to see it, it looks amazing and the interior looks stunning! Polish castles in general I think I need to spend a year in Poland, those castles in that film look great. Do you know what the piece of music that ran throughout the video is called, and who it's by? IT sounds really creepy to start off with, but I loved it. If you don't know, you have a new challenge! |

This might be Youtube music. I donwloaded two films about szopkas and used traditional Polish carols as a background. One film has been dubbed as copyright breach with limitations by Youtube. Music info from the description Utwór Budget meeting Wykonawca Hans Zimmer Album King Arthur Writers Hans Zimmer |
