It is one of the major tourist attractions of the Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) region because of the historical castle and arboretum, which the oldest and richest collection of trees and shrubs in Poland.

Kornik Castle was constructed in the 14th century. The current neogothic design and remodeling was done in 1855 by the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel for Tytus Dzialynski and the son Jan Kanty Dzialynski. After last member of Działyński family Jan Kanty Dzialynski's death, his brother-in-law Count Wladyslaw Zamoyski received the castle in Jan's will. Shortly before his death in 1924, the childless count willed the castle, along with an extensive art collection and the Kornik Arboretum to the Polish state.

Bonjour, cher Christophe,
Le choix du cadrage est parfait pour donner ses lettres de noblesse au château. Heureusement, la nature laisse encore place ŕ travers les arbres.
Trčs belle présentation.
Encore merci pour l'histoire du pilote et de sa tragique fin.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Witaj Krzysztof,
Splendid point of view on this impressive castle. I like the framing offered by the trees, whose intricate tracery contrasts nicely with the austere lines of the architecture. Excellent technical realisation. I wish you a pleasant Saturday afternoon.

Hi Krzysztof,

The trees are framing well the castle. The point of view is showing the details of the Kornik castle. The good luminosity is giving nice tints to the colours. Have a nice day.

Good choice of the POV shows well the façade and the right side walls, Krzysztof.
View through the trees and with green lawn area in front gave extra depth to the compo.
Have a nice sunday,
Ike

Hello Krzysztof,

You are lucky to have so many authentic castles in Poland and indeed, most of Europe. Only tacky tourist castles exist in Australia. Good sharpness & density levels. I like the trees either side framing the scene. Tfs!

Czesc Krzysztof,
wspaniala pocztowka! Pamietam dobrze nazwe tego zamku ale jakos zupelnie nie przypominam sobie zdjec z tego miejsca. Ciekawa jest fasada - troche przypomina te meczety z Iranu czy Uzbekistanu.
Bardzo ciekawe miejsce musze sie kiedys wybrac!
Piekny widoczek, zywe naturalne kolory, atrakcyjna dekoracja chmurkami. Fajny POV.
Doskonale wykonanie,
M

Wigan Krzysztof,

Quite often, castles and stately homes are too expensive to own so it is judicious to donate them to the state.
This is a fine castle and a great addition to places that the public can visit.

You have shown us the style and materials of which this castle was built.
It is interesting to see its location in what appears to be a parkland.
It is a very nicely composed photograph.

My warm regards,
Bev 😊

macjake (98456) 2017-04-02 22:25

Hi Krzysztof
still amazes me how these buildings can stand for so long, this is built back in the 14th century!

I really enjoy the composition you chose. the way the castle is nestled into the trees is quite attractive, even romantic looking. excellent light striking the stone walls too. lovely pic. cheers

Hello Krzysztof,
This is an elegant example of a castle. It reminds me a bit of Arabic/Persian architecture.
