Snap StoriesKrzyżtopór Castle, Ujazd, Poland (part 2 of 5)<br>
<br>
Krzyżtopór Castle is considered the life’s work of the chamberlain of Sandomierz - Krzysztof Ossoliński, who later also became a voivode and a member of the Sejm. He lived in the years 1587-1645. The castle was built mainly thanks to funds collected as a result of Ossoliński’s war supplies. It was built in the years 1627-1644. Ossoliński wanted to create a magnate palace that would surpass in its scale and wealth all the palaces in the entire kingdom. He was particularly inspired by Italian architecture, which he learned during his numerous travels. Certainly, after the palace was built, there was splendor and wealth in it - it was filled with precious sculptures, unique paintings and ornate furniture and carpets. This is not certain information, but most likely in the octagonal central tower there was even a huge aquarium with almost a hundred colorful fish inside. The bottom of the aquarium was also supposed to be the ceiling of the ballroom.<br>
