Snap StoriesThe Castle of the Warmia Chapter, Olsztyn, Poland In the 1470s, a cylindrical, 40-meter tower with a square base was built. A drawbridge on the side of the Łyna River led to the castle, which was surrounded by defensive walls and a moat. The castle walls were partially connected to the city walls, making the castle a powerful bastion defending the town. The castle belonged to the Warmian Chapter, which was under the military protection of the Teutonic Order until 1454. In 1410, the castle surrendered without a fight to the Polish troops of Janusz I of Masovia. After a few years, it briefly returned to the Teutonic Knights. During the Thirteen Years’ War (1455), the castle in Olsztyn was captured by mercenary troops commanded by Jerzy von Schlieben, serving the Order. In 1466, Olsztyn along with Warmia was incorporated into Poland. In the 16th century, the castle interiors were rebuilt. From 1516 to 1521, the administrator of the chapter’s estates was Nicolaus Copernicus, who in 1520 led the castle’s defense during the last Polish-Teutonic war. During the Swedish Deluge, the castle was looted. After the First Partition of Poland, it was taken over by the Prussian administration. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the castle was rebuilt and connected with the city. Between 1909 and 1911, the castle was designated as the residence of the East Prussian regional president. Today, it houses the Museum of Warmia and Mazury as well as the Knightly Brotherhood with an exhibition dedicated to Copernicus. On the castle’s cloister, you can admire a handcrafted, experimental astronomical table of Nicolaus Copernicus. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/olsztyn?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#olsztyn</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zamek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zamek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/polska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/poland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/warmia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#warmia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architektura?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architektura</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothicarchitecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothicarchitecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/widok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#widok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krajobraz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krajobraz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/kopernik?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kopernik</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/copernicus?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#copernicus</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mikolajkopernik?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mikolajkopernik</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nicolauscopernicus?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nicolauscopernicus</a>

Snap StoriesThe Castle of the Teutonic Order, Gniew, Poland The Gniew Castle is the most powerful fortress of the Teutonic Order on the left bank of the Vistula, built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries as the seat of the convent and the commander. During the times of the Order, it was the main political and economic centre of the commandery. During the times of the Polish state (1466–1772), the castle was the seat of the starosts. The starosty of Gniew belonged to the Radziwiłłs, Zamojskis and Lubomirskis. From 1667, the starost of Gniew was the future king of Poland, Jan III Sobieski, and after him the castle was managed by his wife, Maria Kazimiera. As a result of the First Partition of Poland in 1772, Gniew, together with Gdańsk Pomerania, found itself within the borders of the Prussian state. The Prussian government began a large-scale demolition or, at best, a thorough reconstruction of most of the former Teutonic castles. The Gniew Castle also shared this fate. Initially intended as barracks, but completely unsuited to this function, it found a new use as a granary at the beginning of the 19th century. The castle underwent another reconstruction in the 1850s. At that time, it was adapted to serve as a harsh Prussian prison for recidivists. In 1921, a large fire broke out in the castle in unexplained circumstances, completely destroying three of its wings. The reconstruction took place in two stages. The first, in the years 1968–1974, and the second, from 1992, lasting to this day. Since 2010, the Castle Hill in Gniew has been in private hands. Today, it is a modern hotel, restaurant and conference complex, offering its guests royal accommodation, exquisite cuisine and an extraordinary business space. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gniew?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gniew</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zamek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zamek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/polska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/poland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architektura?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architektura</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothicarchitecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothicarchitecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krzyzacy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krzyzacy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zakon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zakon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/teutonicorder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teutonicorder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/teutonicknights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teutonicknights</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/knights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knights</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rycerze?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rycerze</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/walls?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#walls</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wall?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wall</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mury?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mury</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mur?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mur</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/defensivetower?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#defensivetower</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/defensivewall?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#defensivewall</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wieza?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wieza</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tower?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tower</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/towers?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#towers</a>

Snap StoriesThe Castle of the Pomesanian Chapter, Kwidzyn, Poland (part 2 of 2) What distinguishes the castle in Kwidzyn from other castles is its characteristic, largest latrine in the world! The dansker, because that is what we are talking about, is a sanitary and defensive tower at the same time, it dates back to 1384 and is 25 meters high. It is connected to the rest of the castle by a pointed arch bridge supported by five brick pillars, under which a stream flowed throughout the Middle Ages, carrying everything that was needed. The covered bridge leading from the dansker to the castle at the height of the first floor is 54 m long and houses an interesting ethnographic exhibition with material treasures of the Lower Powiśle. It tells about the Mennonites - the Dutch people who settled in Żuławy in the 16th century and were co-owners of this land until the end of World War II. Very hard-working, they contributed to the creation of a specific landscape here - architectural and cultural. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/kwidzyn?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kwidzyn</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zamek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zamek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gdanisko?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gdanisko</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/dansker?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dansker</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/kapitula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kapitula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/chapter?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chapter</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/biskupstwo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biskupstwo</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bishopric?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bishopric</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/polska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/poland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architektura?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architektura</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothicarchitecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothicarchitecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/widok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#widok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krajobraz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krajobraz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krzyzacy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krzyzacy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zakon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zakon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/teutonicorder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teutonicorder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/teutonicknights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teutonicknights</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/knights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knights</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rycerze?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rycerze</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/walls?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#walls</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wall?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wall</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mury?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mury</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mur?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mur</a>

Snap StoriesCastle of the Teutonic Order, Malbork, Poland The best guarded part of the Malbork stronghold was the High Castle. Surrounded by two lines of walls and a moat, it was connected to the Middle Castle by a drawbridge. The High Castle was closed during the day. It was home to about 50 Teutonic brothers. The castle’s central point was a courtyard surrounded by cloisters with a well in the middle. The ground floor of the castle contained a kitchen, utility rooms and a cell for the most important prisoners. The first floor housed the monks’ rooms, the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the chapter house and the treasury. The convent chamber was located even higher. Grain supplies were hidden in the attics, which were supposed to last two years of a potential siege.

Snap StoriesCastle of the Teutonic Order, Malbork, Poland In what areas is the castle in Malbork record-breaking? 1) The largest brick castle in the world - a fortress so fortified that it was never conquered militarily, the inhabitants could survive 3 years without any supplies, and the monastery part was accessed by 4 bridges thrown over the water. 2) The largest kitchen hood in the world - the most exquisite food of the Middle Ages came out of the kitchen, this was confirmed by important heads of Europe at that time, it was also tasted by King Casimir the Great. 3) The largest sculpture of medieval Europe - the Malbork Madonna is over 8 meters high, it was recreated by modern conservators, covered with a mosaic containing real gold. It can be seen on the castle walls of the chapel, from under the ticket office building. Interestingly, the glass cubes were brought from Venice, and the gold elements from Gdańsk. 4) The largest number of latrines in a stronghold in the Middle Ages - even cooks had their own toilet, and cabbage leaves were often used as toilet paper, which also had medicinal properties, e.g. anti-inflammatory. 5) The largest number of wells in a castle in the Middle Ages. Interestingly, the fortress also had access to running water. 6) The oldest underfloor heating in these lands - large stones in the basement were heated in fireplaces and acted as storage furnaces. The heat escaped into the rooms through special holes in the floors. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/malbork?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#malbork</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zamek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zamek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/polska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/poland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architektura?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architektura</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothicarchitecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothicarchitecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/widok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#widok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krajobraz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krajobraz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krzyzacy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krzyzacy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zakon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zakon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/teutonicorder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teutonicorder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/teutonicknights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teutonicknights</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/knights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knights</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rycerze?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rycerze</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/walls?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#walls</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wall?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wall</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mury?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mury</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mur?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mur</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/defensivetower?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#defensivetower</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/defensivewall?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#defensivewall</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/defensivewalls?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#defensivewalls</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tower?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tower</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wieza?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wieza</a>

Snap StoriesHohenstein Castle, Olsztynek, Poland Erected between 1350 and 1366 near the border of the Ostróda commandry with Masovia, at the behest of Günther von Hohenstein. In 1410, after the Battle of Grunwald, fought just a few kilometers from Olsztynek, the castle was seized by the townspeople and handed over to Władysław II Jagiełło. After being reclaimed by the Teutonic Knights, it was damaged during the Polish–Teutonic War of 1414 and the Thirteen Years’ War. During the last war between the Order and Poland, in December 1519, Olsztynek was taken by the troops of Crown Hetman Mikołaj Firlej, who, after the garrison of 200 soldiers surrendered, began an occupation of the castle lasting over a year. After the secularization of the Teutonic Order in 1525, the town was incorporated into Ducal Prussia, and the castle became the administrative seat of the princely starost. In 1651 and 1685, the castle buildings were damaged by fires. By the late 18th century, after renovations, they were converted into offices for the Prussian commissariat, and part of the medieval structures was demolished. Between 1847 and 1849, the remnants were remodeled in a Neo-Gothic style and converted into a gymnasium. After being damaged during World War II, the rebuilt fragments of the castle were incorporated into a school building. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/olsztynek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#olsztynek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/poland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/polska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architektura?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architektura</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zamek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zamek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/warmia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#warmia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/budynek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#budynek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/building?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#building</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/widok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#widok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krajnobraz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krajnobraz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/budowla?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#budowla</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krzyzacy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krzyzacy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zakonkrzyzacki?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zakonkrzyzacki</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/teutonicorder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teutonicorder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/teutonicknights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teutonicknights</a>

Snap StoriesKrzyżtopór Castle, Ujazd, Poland (part 4 of 5) Krzysztof Ossoliński was extremely well-known for his passion for astrology, symbolism, and even magic, which was most likely taken into account in the design of the castle. One theory suggests that there were allegedly 4 main towers, 12 halls, 52 chambers, and 365 windows in the palace, referencing the 4 seasons, 12 months, 52 weeks, and 365 days in a year. This information is merely a conjecture and has never been confirmed. However, another symbolism is certain – on the left side of the entrance gate, there is a heliograph that resembles the letter W. According to researchers, it refers to Aramaic ornamentation, symbolizing the eternal existence of the place. The entrance gate is adorned with bas-reliefs, which, according to one theory, are related to the name Krzyżtopór. One of them, located on the left side, is in the shape of a cross and is meant to symbolize Ossoliński's counter-reformist views, while the axe, in the shape of the second bas-relief on the right side, appears in his family coat of arms. As for the name, there is also another theory regarding its origin, suggesting that it derives from the name Krzysztopór, which is a direct reference to the name and coat of arms of Ossoliński. Furthermore, for many years, a plaque hung above the entrance gate with the inscription: “Cross of defense, Cross of support, children of our Ax” - this inscription also referred to the coat of arms of the castle's founder. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zamek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zamek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ruiny?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ruiny</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ruins?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ruins</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architektura?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architektura</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krzyztopor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krzyztopor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ujazd?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ujazd</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/polska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/poland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/swietokrzyskie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swietokrzyskie</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/widok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#widok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/view?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#view</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krajobraz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krajobraz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historia</a>

Snap StoriesKrzyżtopór Castle, Ujazd, Poland (part 2 of 5) Krzyżtopór Castle is considered the life’s work of the chamberlain of Sandomierz - Krzysztof Ossoliński, who later also became a voivode and a member of the Sejm. He lived in the years 1587-1645. The castle was built mainly thanks to funds collected as a result of Ossoliński’s war supplies. It was built in the years 1627-1644. Ossoliński wanted to create a magnate palace that would surpass in its scale and wealth all the palaces in the entire kingdom. He was particularly inspired by Italian architecture, which he learned during his numerous travels. Certainly, after the palace was built, there was splendor and wealth in it - it was filled with precious sculptures, unique paintings and ornate furniture and carpets. This is not certain information, but most likely in the octagonal central tower there was even a huge aquarium with almost a hundred colorful fish inside.

The location of the castle is undoubtedly not accidental, because there is a water spring in the basement, more precisely under the octagonal tower, and what is more, according to legends, in the castle’s basement there is also a secret entrance to a tunnel that would connect it with the castle in Ossolin, located about 20 km away. Both of these castles belonged to the Ossoliński family. The founder of the castle was Krzysztof Ossoliński. It is extremely interesting that the layout of the building and the entire spatial arrangement of the palace building were most likely greatly influenced by mysterious symbols, astrology and the magic of numbers. For example, according to tradition, the palace was supposed to contain, in accordance with the arrangement of seasons, months, weeks and days in the calendar year: 4 towers, 12 halls, 52 chambers and 365 windows. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zamek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zamek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ruiny?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ruiny</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ruins?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ruins</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architektura?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architektura</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krzyztopor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krzyztopor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ujazd?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ujazd</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/polska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/poland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/swietokrzyskie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swietokrzyskie</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/widok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#widok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/view?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#view</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krajobraz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krajobraz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historia</a>

Snap StoriesCastle in Kazimierz Dolny, Poland (part 2 of 2) The castle was built in the 14th century during the times of King Casimir the Great, after the Tatars attack on the Lublin region. Its shape is adapted to the terrain. The courtyard was surrounded by high walls where people could take shelter in case of danger. There was a well carved in the middle. The castle was the seat of the starosty, and its architecture changed over the centuries. There were living quarters on the town side, and a gate on the opposite side. In the place where the viewpoint is now located, a four-sided residential tower was built in the 15th century, blown up in 1809 by the Austrians. In the 16th century, the walls of the residential wing and towers were decorated with attics. The castle was destroyed during the Swedish Deluge and was never rebuilt. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/kazimierzdolny?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kazimierzdolny</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/kazimierz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kazimierz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zamek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zamek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lubelskie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lubelskie</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/polska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/poland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architektura?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architektura</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gotyk?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gotyk</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothicarchitecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothicarchitecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architekturagotycka?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architekturagotycka</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/widok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#widok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/view?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#view</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krajobraz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krajobraz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ruiny?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ruiny</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ruins?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ruins</a>
