Remiza n. - 14.08.2020I have a fondness for sites like this one, located somewhere out of the way, but having their own history. I happened to come across a day when a knight's tournament was being organized.i, so the castle was bustling with activity. The collection of weapons in the castle museum - impressive.
10.09.2010The castle complex in Liwa is one of the most interesting monuments in the Podlasie-Mazovia borderland. Around 1429, Prince Janusz I the Elder of Warsaw built a brick castleon an artificial island among the marshes of the Liwiec River, then the border of the duchy. After the extinction of the male line of the Mazovian Piasts, from 1526 to 1536 the castle was ruled by Princess Anna of Mazovia, who received Liv as a provision until her marriage. After her marriage to Stanislaw Odrowąż in 1537, the land of Livia was incorporated into the Crown. In 1548-1556 the castle belonged to the queen-widow Bona Sforza. In 1656 (the Deluge) and 1703 (the Northern War) the Swedes conquered and plundered the fortress, which fell into ruins after the second invasion. In 1782, starosta Tadeusz Grabianka built a Baroque mansion to house the starost's office and the land court, which burned down in the mid-19th century. During World War II, German starosta Ernst Grass intended to demolish the castle ruins for bricks. This was prevented by the young archaeologist Otto Warpechowski, who convinced the starost of the castle's alleged Teutonic origins and led to the start of its restoration. The restoration work, interrupted by the Germans in 1944, was completed in 1961.Today the castle is one of the largest weapons museums in Poland, displaying a collection of white arms, firearms and spars from the 15th-20th centuries. The museum also boasts a collection of Sarmatian portraiture from the 17th-18th centuries. And a large collection of battle-themed paintings and prints, including works by Wojciech and Jerzy Kossak, Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz, Leon Kaplinski, Stefano Dell Bella, Erik Dahlberg, among others. The interior decor is complemented by antique furniture and textiles. All visitors to Liv emphasize the unique, intimate atmosphere of the museum and its immediate riverside surroundings, unspoiled by civilization, as if taken alive from 18th century landscapes. http://www.liw-zamek.pl
