Accommodation in the Bay of Puck

 While visiting the Bay of Puck, we slept in the Rzucewo Castle. Although it is a castle only in name, it is a fantastic object. The current form of the neo-Gothic palace took place in the 19th century, and earlier there was the court of the Wejher family and King Jan III Sobieski. Currently, after thorough revitalization, the hotel offers an elegant hotel and a restaurant with a cafe. It is probably the most beautifully located palace in Poland. It is only 100 metres from the sea. There are beautifully decorated rooms and a wonderful terrace for breakfast overlooking the sea. Breakfasts are also very tasty and rich. Directly from this terrace you can descend to a secluded beach. The place is unique, for a peaceful holiday in a beautiful facility, with a wonderful garden behind which horses graze.
