Originally built in the 16th century for the Kurozw\u0119cki family, which gave the castle its name, it was then owned by the Lanckoro\u0144ski family. It was transformed into a Baroque and Neo-classical style residence by Maciej So\u0142tyk towards the end of the 18th century. Today, Kurozw\u0119ki Castle is owned by Marcin Popiel and his family; direct descendants of the Kurozw\u0119ki family, making it one of very few historic properties to come full circle return to the heirs of the original owners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Popiel family has invested, and indeed continues to invest, in the reconstruction of Kurozw\u0119ki Castle, employing local craftsmen who take great pride in applying traditional methods and techniques to the process. While this may mean that progress may be slow, the Popiels are confident that patience will pay off, and that the end results will be worthwhile in the long run. One of the most impressive examples of the restoration work currently being undertaken is an ancient yet well-preserved mural in the Kurozw\u0119ki chapel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2012\/01\/images-72.jpeg\" aria-label=\"Images 72\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2697\"  alt=\"\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2012\/01\/images-72.jpeg\"><\/a>Kurozw\u0119ki Castle\u2019s two annexes contain comfortable apartments, each with classically styled interiors. There is also a conservatory, a lounge and a banqueting hall. It is a great place for families to spend a short break \u2013 especially those with small children. There are sight-seeing trails that have been created with younger guests in mind, and there is even a small zoo, where pony and camel rides are on offer. A further attraction is a labyrinth carved in a field of maize. With a total of 4km of alleys, it is the largest of its kind in Poland, if not in Europe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do nast<\/strong><strong>\u0119pnego razu&#8230; <\/strong>(Till next time&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many historic places to stay in Poland, including majestic palaces and rustic farmhouses.\u00a0One of them is Kurozw\u0119ki Castle, in the southern region of \u015awi\u0119tokrzyskie.
