Gmina Kórnik, Medieval town in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland.

The town sits 25 kilometers southeast of Poznań, featuring a neo-Gothic castle surrounded by a 40-hectare arboretum with diverse plant collections.

The Kórnik Castle, dating from the 14th century, underwent reconstruction in 1855 according to plans by architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel for the Działyński family.

The Kórnik Library, established in 1828, contains 400,000 volumes including the original manuscript of Adam Mickiewicz's literary work 'Dziady Part III'.

Visitors can reach Kórnik through regular bus connections from Poznań, with the castle and arboretum open throughout the year except major holidays.

The castle's Moor Room incorporates design elements from the Alhambra palace, featuring Islamic architectural influences unusual for Polish castles.
