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> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zamek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zamek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ruiny?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ruiny</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ruins?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ruins</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architektura?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architektura</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krzyztopor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krzyztopor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ujazd?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ujazd</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/polska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/poland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/swietokrzyskie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swietokrzyskie</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/widok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#widok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/view?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#view</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krajobraz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krajobraz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historia</a>
Snap StoriesKrzyżtopór Castle, Ujazd, Poland (part 1 of 5)<br> <br> The castle ruins include a palace, outbuildings and five-sided bastion fortifications. They cover an area of approximately 1.3 ha. The location of the castle is undoubtedly not accidental, because there is a water spring in the basement, more precisely under the octagonal tower, and what is more, according to legends, in the castle’s basement there is also a secret entrance to a tunnel that would connect it with the castle in Ossolin, located about 20 km away. Both of these castles belonged to the Ossoliński family. The founder of the castle was Krzysztof Ossoliński.<br> <br> It is extremely interesting that the layout of the building and the entire spatial arrangement of the palace building were most likely greatly influenced by mysterious symbols, astrology and the magic of numbers. For example, according to tradition, the palace was supposed to contain, in accordance with the arrangement of seasons, months, weeks and days in the calendar year: 4 towers, 12 halls, 52 chambers and 365 windows.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zamek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zamek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ruiny?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ruiny</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ruins?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ruins</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architektura?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architektura</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krzyztopor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krzyztopor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ujazd?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ujazd</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/polska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/poland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/swietokrzyskie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swietokrzyskie</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/widok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#widok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/view?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#view</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krajobraz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krajobraz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historia</a>
Snap StoriesThe Royal Castle in Sandomierz, Poland<br> <br> In the 14th century, founded by King Casimir the Great, a brick Gothic building with a castle wall and a defensive tower, built on an octagonal plan, was erected on the site of the wooden stronghold. Around 1480 the southern tower, the so-called “chicken leg”, was erected, now the oldest surviving part of the castle.<br> <br> In the 16th century, on the initiative of King Sigismund I the Old, the reconstruction of the Gothic castle into a Renaissance residence began.<br> <br> During the reign of the next king, Sigismund II Augustus, work on the expansion of the castle continued. They included the construction of the western wing ending with a corner tower and the connection of the northern wall with the gate tower.<br> <br> During the reign of King John Casimir in 1656, during the “deluge”, the castle was blown up by retreating Swedish troops. The eastern and southern wings were destroyed. Since then, the castle has become a public building: an office, a court and a prison. In 1768 during the Bar Confederation, the castle was destroyed again, this time by the Russian troops quartered there.<br> <br> After the Third Partition of Poland, the Austrian partitioner used the castle as a court and a prison. In 1844 the remains of the royal castle were rebuilt, giving it strict classicist architectural forms.<br> <br> At the end of the 19th century, the semicircular prison yard was enclosed with a new wing, the so-called “croissant”, and a building for the prison administration was built into the northern wall. The castle shaped in this way served as a prison until 1959.<br> <br> In later years, thorough renovation and conservation works were carried out, the administration building and the surrounding courtyard were demolished, and in 1986 the castle was designated as the seat of the District Museum in Sandomierz.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sandomierz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sandomierz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zamek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zamek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/swietokrzyskie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swietokrzyskie</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/polska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/poland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architektura?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architektura</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gotyk?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gotyk</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothicarchitecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothicarchitecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architekturagotycka?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architekturagotycka</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krajobraz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krajobraz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a>
Snap StoriesOpatowska Gate, Sandomierz, Poland<br> <br> It is a Gothic entrance gate from the 2nd half of the 14th century. It was built by Casimir the Great as part of the city’s defensive walls. The planning of the old town also dates from this period. At that time, the city was guarded by four gates. In addition to the Opatowska Gate, you could get to the center through the Zawichojska Gate, the Lublin Gate, also known as the Fisherman’s Gate, and the Krakow Gate.<br> <br> Currently, the Opatowska Gate is approximately 30 m high, although originally it was slightly lower. The generosity of the wallet of the Sandomierz doctor Stanisław Bartolon in the 16th century allowed the gate to be enriched with an attic. It is worth remembering that of the entire Sandomierz city defense system, only the Opatowska Gate together with adjacent fragments of the walls and the lower part of the tower have survived to this day.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sandomierz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sandomierz</a> <a

Snap StoriesTown Hall, Sandomierz, Poland<br> <br> Initially, the Town Hall in Sandomierz was a Gothic building with simple architecture on a square plan. It was built in the 14th century, just after the Lithuanian invasion. In the 16th century, it was expanded into an elongated rectangle and then topped with a three-zone attic, the author of which is attributed to Giovanni Maria Padovano. At the beginning of the 17th century, a tower was added on the western side.<br> <br> On the southern wall of the Town Hall there is a sundial made in the sgraffito technique by Tadeusz Przypkowski, former owner of the clock museum in Jędrzejów. In front of the Town Hall you can admire the statue of Our Lady Immaculate from 1776.<br> <br> The Town Hall’s basements probably served as a prison. It is even possible that prisoners were tortured here - this is evidenced by the hooks and rings mounted on the walls.<br> <br> Currently, the Town Hall houses the District Museum and the Civil Registry Office. The rooms are decorated in a Renaissance-Baroque style.<br> <br> At 12.00, the Sandomierz bugle call is played from the Town Hall tower.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sandomierz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sandomierz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/swietokrzyskie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swietokrzyskie</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/polska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/poland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ratusz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ratusz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/townhall?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#townhall</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cityhall?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cityhall</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gotyk?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gotyk</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architektura?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architektura</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothicarchitecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothicarchitecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/budynek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#budynek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/building?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#building</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krajobraz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krajobraz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/widok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#widok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rynek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rynek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rynekglowny?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rynekglowny</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/market?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#market</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/marketplace?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#marketplace</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/marketsquare?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#marketsquare</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/square?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#square</a>
Snap StoriesThe Royal Castle in Chęciny, Poland (part 2)<br> <br> In 1465 a dangerous fire broke out in the castle, and from the second half of the 16th century, that is, when Queen Bona moved out, Chęciny Castle began to lose its luster and splendor. Another fire took place in the mid-sixteenth century, and the staroste Stanisław Dębiński, in order to restore the use of the castle, made only the most important renovation works. The destruction of the castle was done in the 17th century. In 1607, during the Zebrzydowski Rebellion, the fortress was burnt down and the armory plundered. The castle was plundered again in 1655 by the Swedes and their ally Prince George Rákóczi in 1657. The stronghold ceased to be the residence of starosts and was abandoned in 1707 after its subsequent devastation by the Swedes.<br> <br> After these events, the castle was abandoned. The castle cannons fired for the last time in 1787 to the cheers of King Stanislaw August Poniatowski entering the city. Since then, the walls of the medieval stronghold have served the local residents as a source of building materials.<br> <br> During World War I, the ruins were used by the Russian army. Then, as a result of Austrian artillery fire, the towers were seriously damaged. In the interwar period, minor conservation works were not able to stop the destruction of the castle.<br> <br> During World War II, a threat to the castle was the exploitation of stone from Góra Zamkowa to obtain building material for roads in the General Government. The exploitation was stopped, which saved the castle walls from collapsing. After World War II, the ruins of the castle are reconstructed (inter alia, in the years 1948 -1949 - towers, 1959 - 1960 - walls).<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/checiny?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#checiny</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/swietokrzyskie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swietokrzyskie</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/baszta?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#baszta</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tower?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tower</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zamek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zamek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castello?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castello</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/polska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/poland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architektura?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architektura</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/widok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#widok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krajobraz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krajobraz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothicarchitecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothicarchitecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architekturagotycka?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architekturagotycka</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ruiny?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ruiny</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ruins?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ruins</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a>
Snap StoriesThe Royal Castle in Chęciny, Poland (part 1)<br> <br> It was erected on the ridge of a rocky hill (367 meters above sea level) probably at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, on the initiative of Wenceslaus II, the king of the Czech Republic and Poland.<br> <br> The first mention of the castle comes from 1306 and concerns the granting of a stronghold by Łokietek to the bishop of Muskata together with eleven surrounding villages. This privilege was revoked and the castle, together with the emerging town, became the center of princely and then royal power. At the beginning, it covered only the present eastern part - two round towers with a wall in the shape of a polygon similar to a rectangle in the terrain matching the relief.<br> <br> The castle in Chęciny played an important role: the king often visited the castle and congresses of the knights were held in the years 1310, 1318, 1331, 1333. In 1318 - in fear of the Teutonic Knights - the treasury of the Archdiocese of Gniezno was deposited here. Several years later, in June 1331, in Chęciny, the king’s son was appointed governor of Wielkopolska. Equal laws, courts, and coinage were also introduced as an expression of the unification of the country. It was decided to join the war with the Teutonic Knights, and after the congress, the Polish knights moved to Płowce. This event is regarded as the beginning of Polish parliamentarism.<br> <br> During the reign of Casimir the Great, the castle became the seat of the city starosts and the residence of royal families. The king extended the castle with a residential building on the north side and a forearm, which was later added to the chapel.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/checiny?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#checiny</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/swietokrzyskie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swietokrzyskie</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/baszta?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#baszta</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tower?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tower</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zamek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zamek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castello?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castello</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/polska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/poland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architektura?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architektura</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/widok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#widok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krajobraz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krajobraz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothicarchitecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothicarchitecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architekturagotycka?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architekturagotycka</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ruiny?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ruiny</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ruins?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ruins</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a>
