Poland · 19th century
Rajsko (Zamczysko) (until the end of the Second World War German: Neidburg) – artificial ruins located on the high right bank of the Kwisa in the village of Zapusta. The ruins were built in 1875–1878 to the idea and on the commission of Alexander von Minutoli, owner of nearby Biedrzychowice. Architectural details from the ruins of former churches and palaces in the area were reused in the ruins. Rebuilt in the 21st century.
