Niesytno Castle (Polish: Zamek Niesytno) was a castle in the south-west of Poland, near the village of Płonina (German name: Nimmersath), situated west of Bolków. When the castle had turned into ruins, the Płonina Palace was built at the same site, though the place is still often referred to as Niesytno Castle. It has decayed over the years, and only its ruins have remained. It is in private hands and closed for public, but is along the touristic Piastowskich Castle Route (Szlak Zamków Piastowskich).
Famous quotes containing the word castle:
“If, in looking at the lives of princes, courtiers, men of rank and fashion, we must perforce depict them as idle, profligate, and criminal, we must make allowances for the rich men’s failings, and recollect that we, too, were very likely indolent and voluptuous, had we no motive for work, a mortal’s natural taste for pleasure, and the daily temptation of a large income. What could a great peer, with a great castle and park, and a great fortune, do but be splendid and idle?”
—William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)
