Castles & Palaces in Poland
|
The most fascinating and exceptional feature of Poland's tourist attractions are its numerous castles and palaces scattered over the whole country.
Some of them are now romantic and picturesque ruins, cautiously preserved and remaining on its defensive hills or limestone rocks (e.g. the famous group of castles called Eagles' Nests, situated between Czestochowa and Krakow).
Some have been thoroughly restored and turned into museums or local culture and historical centers.
Some are still haunted by its legendary ghosts and, according to old rumors, might still hide mysterious passages and treasures. Others survived miraculously intact.
And in all, a considerable number of them, both original and carefully restored, has been partly turned into unique and comfortable hotels. The rooms are furnished and decorated in the style of monument and give their guests a great feeling of old historical times.
Currently, in Poland there are nearly a hundred very well preserved (or restored) castles, palaces and manor houses running hotel, dining and even conference services, most of which meet European standards and provide safe and unforgettable accommodation. Here follows a brief presentation of the most magnificent of them, all of which are available on www.Discover-Poland.pl.
