Zamek w Kórniku

Beautifully situated, surrounded by a moat, the castle stands in Kórnik since the Middle Ages.

From the first half of the fifteenth century, old walls and cellars, remembering Górków, magnates, who even visited Henryk Waleze, who was going to coronation in Cracow, survived to this day.

According to a local legend, in the Kórnik castle, you can see the figure of Teofila from Działyński, which in the middle of the eighteenth century, made the reconstruction of the residence, and at the same time arranged a garden in the French style. Currently, the former garden serves as the oldest Polish arboretum.

Over the years, the castle has not lost anything of its splendor. Today, it houses a museum full of memorabilia of the past, as well as very valuable ethnographic and natural collections brought from Australia and Oceania by the last owner of Kórnik commodities, Władysław Zamoyski. In addition to tourists, the place attracts scientists from different parts of the world, because in the Kórnik Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences the most valuable treasures of the literature and other unique archives are stored.
