Castle in Lapalice. Building work on Poland’s finest folly (and there quite a few contenders for that title), started in 1979 at the behest of Piotr Kazimierczyk. Kazimierczyk, a local artist, was granted permission to build a 170sq/m work studio on a patch of ground overlooking the lake. To say he bent the rules is an understatement. What went up was a 5,000 sq/m mock castle complete with gateways, turrets and ramparts. Known locally as Łapalice Castle the structure has been lying half-finished and fenced off ever since Kazimierczyk ran out of funds. So what’s in store for this remarkable phantom? Kazimierczyk has been ordered to demolish the illegal structure, impossible given his financial means, while banks have been scared off purchasing it by the monstrous price tag attached. For now it stands as a lonely symbol of Poland’s inherent madness, though if you believe the rumours, the local council will be knocking it down sometime in the next few years. Peer, through bushes and brambles, while you can, and watch for guard dogs.

Centre of Education and Regional Promotion www.cepr.pl Upside Down House in Szymbark A unique house that stands on its roof, where visitors walk on the ceilings and which is decorated in the socialist style of the 1970’s. In the Centre of Education and Regional Promotion in Szymbark at the foot of the highest mountain in the Kaszubian Province – Mount Wiezyca (329m above sea level), a house, the only one in Poland, was built on its roof. Nice place for whole family.
