2. Zamek Korzkiew (from USD 251)
Believed to have been built as a residential tower in the 14th century, this castle came under several owners over the course of time and underwent many additions. Subsequently, it fell into ruin and was only restored much later after historical and architectural research.
Parts of the castle’s exterior still display a medieval aesthetic and the interiors have been beautifully refurbished. While it is fitted with modern comforts and amenities for guests’ comfort, many period pieces have also been preserved to retain the vintage charm. You can expect a peaceful stay as there are only four rooms, which showcase gorgeous furniture, paintings, and chandeliers. Every morning, you can savor a buffet breakfast in the dining room, which is beautifully set and has exposed-brick walls.
