Before coming to Poland, still lounging on Thai beaches and reading like a fiend, I slogged through Mitchener's "Poland" (thank god they didn't charge for that one by the pound!). Let me saved you the time (and weight lifting): war, war, war....invasion, invasion, invasion...and when it wasn't being done TO Poland from the outside (Tatars/Russian from the east, Austrians from the south, German's from the west, even Swedes from the north) there were always plenty of Kingly madness from within... I mean here is a country with such serious trust issues that they preferred importing rulers from other nations because they were less dangerous to oust, less powerful to rule, less understanding of who's greed they were supposed to be bidding.

ANYway.......and so Poland has some wonderful old castles moldering about their fantastic forests, dotting their unique river landscapes.

This one, or the humor of its curator, is apparently haunted.
