A mysterious castle is located in the middle of a frozen lake in Poland, but nobody knows who owns it or how they finished it. The odd, yet magnificent, building has been recorded from the air but it is not clear why the structure was built, or by whom. Construction of the Stobnica Castle started back in 2015, and was built on a man-made island in the middle of a lake, in the west of Poland.
The castle, which is built in a protected nature reserve, has been hugely controversial but flew under the radar until 2018, when local environmental groups and authorities became aware of the property. It is located on the outskirts of Notecka Forest, which is roughly an hour away from Poznan, and it features tall towers, stone walls and grand turrets. In total, the property is around 230 feet high, and 656 feet long.
Recent aerial footage revealed the castle, which took around nine years to build, and now sits completed on a snow-covered and frozen lake. Many theories have been suggested of who owns this secluded castle, and why it was built in the first place. Some people think that the Polish billionaire Jan Kulczyk, who died in 2015, could have been behind the project. However, other rumours claim that the site was funded by money from offshore accounts or alternatively, the Polish company DJT could have been behind the building.
