CASTLE IN LECZYCA POLAND

On a Preparation Day in June we went as a district to

Leczyca Poland to visit a castle. This castle was built

about 1330. It has been in many battles and most

of it has been re-built over the years.

We enjoyed the day together.

After walking the grounds, posing for

pictures in the stocks, visiting the museum

and climbing the tower we had a picnic in a

nearby park then headed for home.

This is the entrance gate with a statue standing guard.
This is the outside view of the tower and wall.
At one time there was a mote around the castle
and you can still see part
of it near the wall.

This is a stairway inside the entry way.
This leads to rooms that now house offices and
museum things.

This is the inside of the big entry door.

The platform to the right is part of the stairway in

the previous picture. Elder Moon and I

were also here in early May and the big

door was all open then. We did not see as

much whenwe were here before because of time

limitations. I am glad we came back and saw the museums

and climbed the tower.

Another building straight in from the entry door

and across the open field area. During August

people come from all over Poland to participate in and

watch dueling contests and other Knight games here

in the field area.

We climbed the tower and stood at the top

by the scalloped edge. Beautiful views.

We could almost see the Church in Tum just

2km away although there were trees in the way.

(We showed pictures of the church in a previous blog)
