Kórnik, Historical castle and arboretum in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland
The Kórnik Castle stands 25 kilometers southeast of Poznań, featuring Gothic Revival architecture with red brick facades and decorative arches throughout its structure.
The castle, dating from the 14th century, underwent substantial reconstruction in 1855 under architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel for the Działyński family residence.
The Kórnik Library inside the castle contains original manuscripts, including works by Adam Mickiewicz and a handwritten novella by Napoleon Bonaparte.
The arboretum spans 40 hectares and contains over 3,300 different species of trees and shrubs, making it the largest botanical collection in Poland.
During 1939-1940, the castle basement operated as a secret printing location for resistance newspapers during the German occupation of Poland.
