A na wsi od sierpnia studnia sucha. Rowy na polach niewiele lepiej. Niby coś tam popadało ale nie wygląda to dobrze. Jak porządnie nie dowali do wiosny to będzie lipa. Chyba dokupię dwa dodatkowe zbiorniki na deszczówkę - zawsze coś.

Castle of the Mazovian Dukes, Ciechanów, Poland (part 2 of 2)
The castle’s greatest period of splendor was the reign of Duke Janusz I, son of Siemowit, who, after the defeat of the Teutonic Knights at Grunwald in 1410, rebuilt Ciechanow Castle as his residence, erecting an imposing residential building, raising the level of the courtyard by 1.5 meters and laying decorative cobblestones.
During the reign of the next dukes, the castle was an important point of administration of the Duchy of Ciechanow, a place of international negotiations and a fortress where the ducal treasury was kept. The castle was rebuilt and adapted to the use of firearms. The main entrance was moved to the west gate, which was fortified with a brick fore-gate and drawbridge.
After the death of Janusz II in 1495, the castle began to decline, and after the incorporation of Mazovia into the Crown in 1526, it completely lost its importance and slowly fell into disrepair under the royal starosts.
In the middle of the 17th century, during the “Swedish Deluge,” the castle was seized by the Swedes and burned, as was Ciechanow. From then on it was a ruin, located outside the city, in vast swampy meadows.
After the Second Partition, in 1803, the Prussians, who ruled much of Mazovia, demolished the buildings inside the castle, building a brewery in Opinogóra out of the bricks they obtained. They left the outer walls, which they were unable to breach.
In the 1960s, the process of rebuilding the castle began, and it eventually became a museum facility, in the nature of a “permanent ruin,” with a small museum exhibition on the towers and in the reconstructed castle cellar of the so-called “Gothic Hall.”

Castle of the Mazovian Dukes, Ciechanów, Poland (part 1 of 2)
When the construction of the Ciechanów castle began, and it was around 1355, Mazovia, which was a separate duchy, was ruled by Prince Siemowit III from the line of the Mazovian Piasts. In other areas of Poland, the process of unification was coming to an end, after the so-called district breakdown. It was ruled by the last hereditary king, Casimir the Great, also from the Piast line, who "found Poland made of wood and left it made of stone". Polish lands were invaded by armies from neighboring countries, especially the Teutonic Knights (the Knights' Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary) from the north, Czechs from the south and Lithuanians from the east.
The form of the castle - a rectangle measuring 48 x 57 m - with one building at the southern gate (for the crew), two towers from the entrance side and a huge, empty courtyard resembled early medieval Middle Eastern castles - Byzantine castles. It had a similar purpose - it was used to shelter the city's population, along with the most valuable possessions, when threatened by the enemy. The only way to the castle, from the city side, through the swampy backwaters of the Łydynia River, was a wooden bridge, almost 300 m long, easy to dismantle.
The Ciechanów castle was practically impregnable and was never occupied by enemies, although such attempts were made by the Teutonic Knights, as evidenced by two swords and other fragments of the knights' armament found in the castle moat during archaeological research. The castle then (at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries) served as a defensive border castle, as the border of the Teutonic State ran along the river, just behind the northern wall of the castle.

Town Hall, Ciechanów, Poland
Ciechanów Town Hall is a neo-gothic building. It is located on the north side of the market. It was built in 1844 according to the design of the Italian architect Henryk Marconi (1792-1863). It was built of brick, on a rectangular plan, with a four-sided tower on the façade axis. The corners of the building are framed by polygonal pillars. Ogival windows. A cornice under the eaves made of suspended neo-gothic arcades, which at the same time forms the capitals of the pillars. The hipped roof is covered with sheet metal. The building is two-story, with a basement. It has a newer extension at the back.
In the panorama of the town, the Town Hall is a beautiful architectural accent, distinguished by its lightness and specific charm. To this day, it is the seat of the municipal authorities.

Castle of Krakow bishops, Iłża, Poland (part 2)
During the Swedish Deluge, the castle was seriously damaged by the Swedish and Transylvanian armies. The Cracow bishops took care of the reconstruction of the building, but despite the efforts and periodic renovation works (the last one, undertaken in 1782, consisted in replacing the roof), when their property was taken over by the state authorities during the Four-Year Sejm (1789), the residence was in a dilapidated condition.
After the partitions, the Austrians set up a field hospital in the castle, later parties were organized in several well-ordered chambers. During one of them a great fire broke out. The ruins became a source of stone building material for the city. Further damage was the result of shelling and devastation during both world wars - especially the tower (a convenient observation post) suffered. Today - after securing, roofing and lighting - it houses a seasonally open viewpoint. During the ongoing, next phase of conservation, the walls and foundations of the buildings in the outer bailey were uncovered, the courtyard and the entrance road were paved.

Castle of Krakow bishops, Iłża, Poland (part 1)
The original wooden fortified residence of the clergy was located in the old town, but in the 13th century it was destroyed - probably as a result of subsequent Tatar and Lithuanian invasions. According to Jan Długosz, the brick castle on the neighboring hill (on the eastern side of the city) was supposed to have been built by bishop Jan Grot (bishop of Kraków in the years 1327–1347).
The oldest element of the fortifications was the characteristic round stone tower, intended as the last point of defense (which still exists today). The next phase of expansion was in 14th and 15th centuries, when circumferential stone walls appeared (also in the town), and then the entrance was modified - from then on it led through a long bridge with stone pillars along the western side of the stronghold. In the 16th century (around 1560), under the rule of a well-known patron of science and art, Bishop Filip Padniewski, the castle was transformed into a Renaissance residence, while the internal Gothic buildings (except the tower) were demolished. The defense system of the stronghold was also improved, surrounding the outer bailey with a wall (it became the so-called lower castle), adding bastions and a new entrance. In the 17th century, the fortification of the outer bailey was continued, while the upper castle, then topped with an attic, was expanded and beautified.
