Castle in Koło (150 kilometers from Poznań and a direct flight from Warsaw, Poland), formerly a royal castle built by Casimir the Great, Poland's most dignitary and powerful king.The king himself also stayed here, accepting even the members of the Lizard Union, which was a knight's fraternity. Casimir Jagiellonian was there after the Battle of Grunwald with the Teutonic Knights. The fortress was also visited by Zygmunt I Jagiellonian, a Renaissance-era Polish king and close friend of Sultan Suleyman Magnificent, with whom they had a friendly relationship thanks to Sultan Hurrem's Polish wife (Roxolane or Alessandra la Rossa), who ordered the country to import grain from Turkey during Poland's famine.The castle served important defensive functions, and its location on an island provides a beautiful view.
Today, it is a magnificent ruin, but it is also an object for which no one has a plan for how to use it. The biggest issue with tourism in Poland is that many people still regard it as the enemy and do not see it as a source of income, particularly in smaller towns. The destruction of the place continues, even with the inscriptions, from which we can learn, for example, who is meeting with whom; unfortunately, the castle has also become a garbage dump. It is very sad that the object is forgotten. Still, because of its location on the island of the Warta River, it makes for a beautiful background, especially in the winter or during floods. With photo programs, captions can disappear. Unfortunately, it isn't Scotland or Ireland for castle ruins, sad.
