Leszczyński palaces in Poland.

In Poland we can find many smaller or bigger palaces ... I like palaces :)

- Do you own any? I wonder. So how about the Branickis, are they connected with you in any way?
:)

Nice pics, incredible architecture.

Thanks. Now many people in Poland try to imitate old style but I prefer style moving forward. Lets leave the old style for already build palaces :)

Going back to £ańcut Castle.

It is worth visit.

===================================

To any Americans that might happen upon this thread.
The theory of all Europeans living in Castles and Palaces, is absolutely true, as you can see ;)

;)

The palace was rebuilt from the scratch. It is near Krakow, for many years the ruins had haunted me and one day, out of the blue, the palace was reborn. Incredible.

Krakow used to be a fortress under the Austrian partition in 19 century. Those smart Austrians even adapted Wawel Castle for barracks and stables. Total lack of respect towards the Polish cultural and historical heritage! :):):)

Today the forts are car parks and wine storage houses.

Now something about history of Polish palaces in former eastern Poland ... today Ukraine or Belarus.

Most of them are devastated so I don't know why they have stolen them ... in some they hold potatoes, cows ...

Anny way they played enormous role in resistance against Rusyfication of Polish population under Russian partition. It was the best argument against pan-Slavists from east as long as non Poles in surrounding grounds weren't able to build such

Some remains of old Polish history are still there :





Here we have interesting conection of two different styles:

Small Polish palace and Socrealistic Belrusian monument.

[Unknown Polish castle]

I like castle's very much and especially the ruin-like type; real old and tarnished.
The castle on the image above looks very nice and the picture is also well taken.
Does anybody know which castle that is ? It's a Polish castle, but that's all I know.

And do you favour a castle in Poland ? What castle should I, or anyone, really visit ?

I once was in the Czech republic and went for a weewee in the bushes, up a little hill. To my big surprise I 'discovered' a keep or dojon type of castle; totally discarded and used as a dump by the locals. I was truely amazed. Ob the image below is an example of such a castle; the one I saw was more primitive and simple, but it had the size and shape of the square building in the middle. The towers were lost in time :

Malbork castle is pretty awesome.....definatly not a ruin tho...but well worth a visit......

There are several castles around the jura hills near where I am in zawiercie. Theres ogrodzieniec castle, then there is mirów castle which is a nice scenic walk away from bobolice castle. You have pieskwej skały in the ojców national park which is also well worth a visit.

Theres a very big list of castles in poland on wikipedia.

Looks like ruins of the castle Tęczyn, in Rudno Poland.

When I was in Ukraine about 8 years I've seen many castles being used this waynot a single one in Poland. Still, some are in a pretty delapidated state because of lack of funds for renovation.

the largest surviving castle complex from that time.

And a world heritage site....wonderfull place....i loved the cannon ball that is wedged into the wall of the dining hall.....

Build in Prussia by the Teutonic order...should be a german world heritage site! :)

(But then, the other world heritage site, the city of Thorn, is from the Teutonic Order too...not so bad for a warrior order...)

it was as much prussia as it was poland.

Did the Poles build it?

prussians sure didn't. :)

Marienburg castle is not Polish.

who said it was?

Now I am confused...who built it?

The Polish call it Malbork. It is not. It was named Marienburg, after Mary.

yes, after the tutons occupied Malbork they renamed it. there are plenty of places in central europe that have names in multiple languages.
