Kazimierczak has since submitted multiple applications to be allowed to continue building on his castle, but so far they have all been rejected. And yet, the unfinished building, solely due to its incredible size, has become a tourist attraction that thousands of people visit every year. Among locals, the place is just as popular for picnicking against the impressive backdrop.

Kazimierczak doesn't skimp, he splurges and builds a ballroom and a huge swimming pool for his own castle. The artist works on his home for seven years until construction is finally halted. This has two reasons: First, the authorities noticed that Kazimierczak had simply appropriated land that did not belong to him. And ultimately, the builder simply ran out of money to continue working on his dream.

This impressive church, built by the Carthusian monks between 1383 and 1405, is unmissable! It is the best-preserved Carthusian church in Poland. Inside, it boasts magnificent historical furnishings: an altar from 1444, Baroque choir stalls, and chancel walls upholstered in Flemish cordovan. And the exterior? The roof is shaped like a coffin!

https://urbexplorer.com/lost-places-urbex-touren/lapalice-castle-polen-kuenstler-und-die-realitaet/ We weren't alone here; many others were also visiting. This seems to be semi-legal. There's a paid parking lot a few hundred meters away, the gate is wide open, and there are no conspicuous prohibition signs. https://youtube.com/shorts/dKa2_D9bwtE?si=evKRw_FISjkrlEXB

It was either daydreaming or megalomania that drove the Polish artist Piotr Kazimierczak to build this castle. He became wealthy as a seller and restorer of church furniture. The castle was to have 365 windows, 52 rooms, and twelve towers. Construction began in 1984, but after seven years it was halted because he only had a building permit for a building one-sixth the size, and apparently, the money also ran out.

The fence itself is impressive. At one time, a lot of concrete was poured here!
