One Preparation after laundry and cleaning
we took Sister Sheets and Darota to see some
sites near Wroclaw.
CASTLE IN LEGNISA
This castle is in Legnisa near Wroclaw.
It was first built in 1132 and had such visitors as Henry the Bearded and his wife Jadwiga (you can read about them in another post).
French troops led by Bonaparte stayed here about 1808. 
This is a view of the lower sections. At times there were prison areas and
other cellars here. The ownership of the castle
changed hands many times ove the years from
Czech, Prussia, Germany, Poland.

It is spring and we saw the signs of that with the duck. We saw many paired upo swimming in the moat and

These were especially pretty ducks.

around Wroclaw.
