Zamek w Kórniku

You're standing at Kórnik Castle, in the small Polish town of the same name. With its turrets, battlements and pointed shapes, it looks like something straight out of a fairy tale. But the castle is much older than it looks. It goes back to the fourteenth century. Its current Gothic Revival look only came in the nineteenth century, partly based on plans by the German architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. The men behind it were Tytus Działyński and, later, his son Jan Kanty.
