Castle of Zolkiew Photo

Photographer’s Note

The site of Żółkiew has been inhabited since the 14th century. In 1594, polish Grand Crown hetman Stanisław Żółkiewski fortified the settlement and built Żółkiew Castle 1594-1606.
In the 17th century, it became the royal residence for King John III Sobieski of Poland, and a hub of religious life, arts and commerce.
In the 1930s my grandfather Maksymilian Adam Dobrowolski served in the Stanisław Żółkiewski 6 Cavalry Regiment in Żółkiew.

Hello Wojciech,
In your shot you show very interesting place. I was there more than 30 years ago. The castle was not in so good state as now. Very good presentation of so important historic place. Well done!
Best regards,
Sergiy
