Inspiring awe and amazement, Krzyżtopór Castle is among the most original and unusual buildings in Poland. Built by Krzysztof Ossoliński in the years 1621-1644, designed by Laurentius de Sent, this palazzo in fortezza dazzled its contemporaries.
The building was built upon the model of the calendar, having 365 windows (the number of days in a year), 12 rooms (the number of months), 52 chambers (the number of weeks) and 4 towers (the number of seasons). Elements of its fittings also testified to the splendour and glamour of the residence, such as an aquarium with exotic fish instead of a dining room ceiling and marble mangers and crystal mirrors in the stables.
