White Lady from Kórnik

The Kórnik castle is situated 20 km from Poznań – the capital of Wielkopolska region (western part of Poland).

This is a romantic residence styled as a Gothic castle.

Its history began in the 14th century, but since that time it has been converted many times. The last conversion took place between 1838 and 1891.

Today the castle has an English Neo-Gothic appearance outside (lump and elevation) and a Gothic-Renaissance appearance inside the walls.

The castle is surrounded by a medieval moat with a Neo-Gothic bridge.

 

The White Lady, as legend says, is the ghost of Toefilia z Dzialynskich Szoldrska-Potulicka. She comes down from her portrait at night. She rides on a black horse in her white dress together with a black rider until sun rises...

There is a wide park near Kornik castle with unusual plants, which are rarely found in this climate. For example from China, Korea, Japan, North America.

In trees and bushes as well as great collection of rhododendrons and azaleas.
