I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, it is worth seeing this "monument to stupidity", and on the other hand, it is a private area, Not safe (no security, you can easily fall down, etc.) a neglected den full of garbage. Certainly not for everyone. I wouldn't take my family there or take a walk with the kids. rather for fans of this type of abandoned places. There can be some dangerous company here in the evening or at night.

Łapalice Castle

Highlight • Castle

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.

Unfinished Castle in Łapalice — Perimeter Wall

Highlight • Castle

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.

The Unfinished Castle in Łapalice

Highlight • Castle

This unfinished castle was built by a sculptor and furniture manufacturer from Gdańsk, who in 1984 received permission to build a residential house with a sculpture studio. Looking at what he built, his imagination definitely got carried away. In 1991, construction was officially suspended as the facility being constructed exceeded the provisions of the building permit. Then came the investor's financial problems and the matter stuck for years.
The castle took on a life of its own and became legendary. Even when empty, it makes a stunning impression, so over time it became a true illegal and dangerous, but undoubtedly interesting, and for many, even magical, tourist attraction.
