Ksiaz Castle: A History Steeped in Mystery, Walbrzych, Poland
As many of you may know we love castles here at聽Wyld family Travel聽and Polish castles are no different. We seek them out as much as we can, wherever we can.

In their stories, there is always that one thing that separates them from the others and this was no different for Zamek Ksi膮偶 or Ksiaz Castle, one of the聽most mysterious Polish castles.

As there was no one behind us we could drive slowly down the road and take it all in. I can completely understand why Royals pick places like this to build聽their castles, it was absolutely stunning. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
