The castle in Bobolice is a royal castle originally built in the middle of the 14th century and then rebuilt. The castle was built by the king of Poland, Casimir the Great in 14th century. It belonged to the defense system of the western state border of the Polish Kingdom and was part of the fortification called the Eagles' During the invasion of Maximilian III Habsburg to Polish lands in 1587, the castle was conquered by its army. It suffered some serious damage, but it was quickly recaptured by the Polish troops. In 1625, the castle passed into the hands of Myszkowski family. During the Swedish Deluge in 1657, the Swedes severely destroyed the castle. The next owners of the castle were Męcińscy from Żarki, however, after the Swedish wars in the 17th and 18th centuries, the castle began to fall into ruin. When in 1683 King Jan III Sobieski stopped at the castle in Bobolice, his retinue had to sleep in tents. In the 18th century, the castle was only partially inhabited. The inventory of the castle from 1700 shows its rather poor condition. Despite attempts to rescue the castle, it fell into a growing ruin. In the 19th century, a treasure was found in the vault of the castle. Treasure hunters completed the rest of the destruction. After the Second World War, the castle walls were partially demolished and used to build a road. At the end of the 20th century, the Lasecki family - the current owners of the castle - took up the challenge of rebuilding this castle. At the request of family representatives: Senator Jarosław Lasecki and his brother Dariusz Lasecki, with the assistance of Polish scientists and experts, archaeological, security and construction works were carried out. Reconstruction in an approximate shape to the appearance of the castle in the sixteenth century was implemented despite the lack of any plans, sketches or drawings of the castle; its shape was recreated on the basis of preserved ruins, using the knowledge of historians and archaeologists. The works used only traditional materials (mainly limestone), and a special masonry mortar was also developed. Reconstruction itself has aroused and continues to arouse controversy and criticism of various environments. The object is referred to as Disneyland, a bad dummy of the monument, specialists pointed out the lack of preserved sources regarding the old appearance.
