Janowiec Castle

Lublins vojvodskap · Polen · Castle ruin

The mighty Renaissance ruin of Janowiec rises above the Vistula escarpment opposite Kazimierz Dolny. Here Helena Lubomirska, daughter of the castle's owner, is said to have fallen in love with a humble fisherman – when her father discovered the affair she was locked in the tower, and in despair she threw herself from the window. Ever since, she appears as the "Black Lady", a dark female figure glimpsed on the tower and walls at dusk. The ruin with its massive bastions is now a museum and one of the most atmospheric places in the Lublin region.
