[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The castle was erected on a rocky pinnacle hanging over the Prdnik river balley for King Casimir the Great. Later it passed into the hands of the Szafraniec family. In the mid-16th century, on the initiative of Sandomierz Voivode Stanisław Szafraniec, the late Gothic castle was converted into a Renaissance residence. After the death of the last member of the Szafraniec family in 1608, the castle was subsequently owned by the Zebrzydowski and Wielopolski families. Ruined in the 19th century, the castle was bought with the public funds and turned into a pension. After World War II it was reconstructed according to Alfred Majewski's design and a museum was arranged inside.

very sharp and good contrast pic.

Witaj Ela,
milo Cie znowu widziec na TL. I w dodatku z takim fajnym zdjeciem. Podoba mi sie kontrast koloru scian z tymi cudownie osniezonymi drzewami. Dzieki miejscu z ktorego pstrykalas, budowla sprawia wrazenie bardzo wynioslej, niedostepnej.

Lovely image Elzbieta and a far cry form the Autumnal scenes. Beautiful soft colours, great POV and the finest detail from the fringe of grass at the bottom to ther spire at the top. TFS.

Hi Elzbieta! I found your profile as you were the featured Artist... I really like your work, and this present picture reminds me my hometown, Quebec City (Canada). The scenery and the framing are very nice. Thanks for sharing! Best regards,
