The area is still officially considered a construction site, which is why entry is prohibited — anyone who dares to do so does so at their own risk. However, seeing the former magnificent building from the outside is an experience in itself. Furthermore, according to „Troj Miasto”, there is now hope that Lapalice Castle could eventually be completed in the not-too-distant future: According to reports, the city council has approved the development of ideas for future use, almost 40 years after the dream began to take shape. Kazimierczak is said to have already expressed interest in a collaboration.

Kazimierczak has since submitted multiple applications to be allowed to continue building on his castle, but so far they have all been rejected. And yet, the unfinished building, solely due to its incredible size, has become a tourist attraction that thousands of people visit every year. Among locals, the place is just as popular for picnicking against the impressive backdrop.

Kazimierczak doesn't skimp, he splurges and builds a ballroom and a huge swimming pool for his own castle. The artist works on his home for seven years until construction is finally halted. This has two reasons: First, the authorities noticed that Kazimierczak had simply appropriated land that did not belong to him. And ultimately, the builder simply ran out of money to continue working on his dream.

If you're hiking the Kashubian Trail, it's worth deviating a bit to see the Mirachowskie Caves. These caves were discovered in the 1950s and 1960s. They are up to 2 meters high and between 3 and 6 meters deep. Warning! Do not cross the wooden barrier if you value your life, as the ground is slipping and there's a risk of collapse.

A beautiful spot with a view of Lake Lubygość from its southern shores. The local nature reserve protects this very lake (18 hectares) and the beautiful forests surrounding it, which you're currently admiring. There are plenty of places to sit (although you have to sit on the ground) and reflect in peace and quiet.

A wonderfully calming place after miles of pedaling. Delicious teas can be sampled in a pavilion nestled among beautiful plants from around the world.

https://urbexplorer.com/lost-places-urbex-touren/lapalice-castle-polen-kuenstler-und-die-realitaet/ We weren't alone here; many others were also visiting. This seems to be semi-legal. There's a paid parking lot a few hundred meters away, the gate is wide open, and there are no conspicuous prohibition signs. https://youtube.com/shorts/dKa2_D9bwtE?si=evKRw_FISjkrlEXB

It was either daydreaming or megalomania that drove the Polish artist Piotr Kazimierczak to build this castle. He became wealthy as a seller and restorer of church furniture. The castle was to have 365 windows, 52 rooms, and twelve towers. Construction began in 1984, but after seven years it was halted because he only had a building permit for a building one-sixth the size, and apparently, the money also ran out.
