Royal Castle Rising in Warsaw Spearheaded by Gifts
In Warsaw, a $30 million royal castle is rising on the orders of Edward Gierek. Financed by voluntary gifts from Poles at home and abroad, the project aims to recreate the 17th century royal palace that was destroyed by Nazis. Construction began nearly three years ago and will be exterior complete by next summer, with four more years for interior work and furnishings.
