See
The Dzialynski Castlea castle with its roots in deep Middle Ages, the present shape is the result of the XIXth cent. reconstruction. During the visit in the castle you will see beautiful interiors with original furniture from (mostly) XVIIIth and XIXth cent, wonderful floors made of roots of trees, some paintings, musical instruments, souvenirs brought from all-over-the world by one of the Castle’s owners and – last but not least – the portrait of Mrs. Teofila – better known as Kórnik White Lady – a good ghost of the castle appearing every midnight in the park nearby. On the second floor there’s a unique armory collection and some book from extra precious Kórnik Library (which is a part of the Polish Academy of Sciences) : the manuscript of the first edition of Nicolas Copernicus’s Works, the first guide-book about Poznań, the first printed Bible in Polish (II half of XVIth cent) and many other books or manuscripts.

Go next
Just next to Kórnik, in Bnin (2 km) you can see the birthplace of Wisława Szymborska (a Literature Nobel Prize Winner in 1990s) and some nice XIX-century tenement houses and a Town Hall.
An interesting thing for nature-lovers can be a beaver’s trail starting in a village Czmoniec, leading alondside Warta river, where beavers’ habits are presented on 9 boards and – with some luck – you can watch these nice rodents.
