The knights’ route stops at LECH Visitors Centre.

Kórnik
Kórnik is located only 20 km to the south-east of Poznań, at Kórnickie Lake. The grand building has always been a property of the great local families. Now the castle is a Neo-Gothic residence from mid-19th century and is owned by the Polish Academy of Sciences.
The castle is surrounded with a park from 18th century and Poland’s biggest wooden plants park. The castle, towering above the city of Kórnik, is certainly worth visiting and so is the arboretum. They offer the visitors a taste of the old splendour and charm of court life.

Rogalin
The construction of the Rogalin residence commenced in 1768. From the very beginning, the palace had been the family manor of the Raczyński family. Edward Raczyński extended the residence with a landscape park and a chapel. What is particularly impressive about the Rogalin residence is its size while the park offers calm, silence and... the famous Rogalin oak trees. Experts claim that three of them: Lech, Czech and Rus are already over 700 years old.

Gołuchów
All visitors are bound to fall in love with this place. The castle in Gołuchów, modelled by the famous Loire Valley chateaus, is among the most magnificent and charming castles in Poland. A former seat of the Działyński family that attracts crowds of tourists every year. They can tour the castle as a museum exhibiting the Polish room, the Ancient room, the antique vase room and the gothic hall.
