Castle Bobolice Poland

 

 

The castle was built during the reign of polish king Kazimierz III the Great, in the second half of the 14th century. It was part of the defensive system of royal fortresses which protected the western border of the state on the Silesian side, and are known as the Eagles' Nests.

 

At the end of the 20th century, the castle's current owners, the Lasecki family, undertook the challenge of saving this beautiful historical building from complete annihilation. Under the command of representatives of the family: Senator Jarosław W. Lasecki and Dariusz D. Lasecki - Polish archaeologists and historians led archaeological and reconstruction works, with the aim of saving this historical building of national significance.

 

After over 12. years of works, the reconstruction has ended in 2011. The Castle of Bobolice was officially opened in September, and has been opened to the public.
