Both Podewils Hotels are a places where history and tradition have been combined with modern life style and the best of comfort. HOTEL PODEWILS *** - 15TH KNIGHT CASTLE IN KRAG, POLAND The 15th-century Knights Castle lies 30 kilometres from Darlowo and 40 kilometres from Koszalin and Slupsk. It is considered to be one of the most interesting historical monuments not only in Pomerania, but throughout Poland. The castle is surrounded by a 2,6 ha lush historical park enclosed by a stone wall. This Castle had always been famous for magnificent balls the joyful music of which was heard all around the neighbourhood. Various games and races were held, all arranged by a brave family of Podewils, who acquired the castle from duke Boguslaw X in recognition of their contribution to the victory of the battle of Sianow in 1475. The Podewils were then peacefully and happily ruling the area for over four centuries. The castle grew more and more beautiful from generation to generation, yet the brave Podewils were not free from spells or evil magic either, which will be the subject of night tales in the Hotel. You might probably be able to hear moaning convicts, whose solitary spirits have been rambling in the caste... In 1996, a modern, stylish hotel opened within these historic walls. Although the cellars are now called the wine bar, and the old chambers hotel rooms, there are only few people who know the real history of the place.
