    Hands-down, this castle in the South of Poland is one of the most splendid palaces in the whole country. Leading figures from all around the world came to see this mansion but suddenly it all stopped when the site was abandoned more than 20 years ago. What happened to the former residents? From a distance, it still seems like a real-life fairy-tale castle. But take a closer look and you see that the facade is crumbling and that this is place is full of scars. Because the story of this historic mansion is a story of betrayal! Discover the sad history of one of Poland’s most beautiful undisclosed landmarks in this documentary: https://youtu.be/LOd61qinV5o

    Spoiler: the "betrayal" is that the castle was damaged and sold at the turn of the century to investors who never repaired it. And what happened to the former residents is that the last male heir died. Then it was a school for awhile, but it never fully recovered after a big fire.

    Here is a translated wiki page on the castle with a lot more of it’s history.

    The correct name of that castle is Schloss Eckersdorf.
