Przegorzały Castle

Przegorzały used to be a seperate village near Kraków, but now it is a part of it. High on a hill while driving along the highway, you
can see this large mansion which is called Przegorzały Castle. It was built during WWII in about 1 year for the governor of the region. Although they call it a castle, I would classify it more of a mansion.

We wanted to get a good look around the place, but due to a wedding going on we were limited where we could go, so we did not have much time for exploring & one of the buildings was being renovated. Being on top of a hill, it has some fantastic views and overlooks the Wisła River.

The "castle" is also houses the Center for European Studies & the Center for Holocaust Studies for Jageillonian University. In the lower level, there is a restaurant.
