White Lady from Golub-Dobrzyn Castle


The castle in Golub-Dobrzyń was built in the beginning of the 14th century as a defensive fortress. It was many times attacked, destroyed, rebuilt and finally converted in the Renaissance style as a palace of the princess Anna Vasa. Erected on a hill overlooking the town, the castle belongs to the most interesting edifices of Europe.

White Lady - Anna Vasa 


Princess Anna was known to take exceptionally good care of her people, animals, plants and the castle itself. It’s not surprising then that she did not want to leave all this behind when she died.
She still lives in her castle as a ghost – or the White Lady of Golub. She has often been seen wearing a long white dress decorated with pearls, walking along the corridors or strolling in the gardens.
