PL-1664040

The royal Castle Bobolice is one of the most beautiful fortresses on the Eagles' Nests trail.
It was built around 1350 by king Casimir the Great as part of the defense system of the western border of the Kingdom of Poland.

The castle and its surrounding suffered heavily during repeated invasions. The most dramatic of the invasions was the Swedish Deluge, which took place in the 16th century and left the castle in a state of great destruction. From that time onwards the castle continued to deteriorate in its state. 
Now, after years of reconstructions, Bobolice Castle has been returned to its former glory. As in the centuries before, the development of the castle provokes the development of the whole neighbourhood. Not only does the village of Bobolice now boast a hotel and restaurant, but it has also become one of the most popular and attractive places on the tourist map of Poland. - in: http://www.zamekbobolice.pl/history.html
