Niedzica Castle in Poland - This Castle Has a Horror Legend!

Hello guys, I'm Chidofaine, welcome to a new video. Today I will take you to an incredible place, which is called Niejidza Castle. The Niejidza Castle, or Zamek ve Niejidze in Polish language, was built between the year 1320 and 1326 by a Hungarian person known as the Kokos of Bresovice. For several years, this castle was used as the border between Hungary and Poland. The Niejidza Castle was built on a hill 300 meters upstream from the Dunajec river. The Niejidza Castle is considered as one of the most beautiful castles in all Poland. This Polish castle is also known as the Dunajec Castle and is located in the south part of Poland, just above the Dunajec river, right in the Czorsztyn lake and really close to the border with Slovakia. The castle was built on a peninsula into the river which was an ideal place to defend against any threat. This Polish castle was built right in the Czorsztyn lake. Back in 1940, the construction of this lake started. This lake is a man-made creation. The lake was finished in 1995. The construction of this lake was made mainly to avoid any flood in the Dunajec river. With no doubt, the castle and the lake make a perfect combination of beauty and style. As almost all the castles in the world, the Niejidza Castle has its own legends. The most popular and famous one involves one beautiful princess from Latin America. Some centuries ago, one of the owners son of the Niejidza Castle, Sebastian Bresovice, travelled to South America, specifically to Peru. When he was there, he fell in love with an Inca princess named Umina. Both of them decided to travel and to live in this castle in Poland after the war started with Spain in 1860. When Umina and Sebastian moved to Poland, they decided to bring an Inca treasure with them, so the Spanish army could not stole it. There were several rumors of this Inca treasure in Poland. One of the treasure hunting thieves followed and murdered Umina princess in front of the castle. The legend says that every night the spirit of Umina appears and scares all the people that is closer to this castle, just to protect her precious gold treasure. Nowadays, Umina is known as the White Lady of the Dunajec Castle. It is believed that there is a map of the Inca treasure somewhere in the Niejidza Castle with information of this gold treasure and some secrets of the Inca gold. Nowadays this castle is a museum and it's open every day during summer. It is a little bit complicated to get here if you don't have a car.
