Royal Castle of Łęczyca

Łódź vojvodskap · Polen · Castle

The brick castle of Łęczyca was built by Casimir the Great in the 14th century, but according to folk tradition its true master is the devil Boruta. He is described as a tall nobleman in a splendid kontusz coat, with black moustaches and coal-dark eyes – his hat and robes hiding horns and a tail. In the castle's underground passages he is said to brood over vast treasures, sometimes in the shape of an owl, and through the centuries he has played trick after trick on haughty noblemen. Boruta is Poland's most famous devil, and the castle with its museum is his acknowledged home.
