The area is still officially considered a construction site, which is why entry is prohibited — anyone who dares to do so does so at their own risk. However, seeing the former magnificent building from the outside is an experience in itself. Furthermore, according to „Troj Miasto”, there is now hope that Lapalice Castle could eventually be completed in the not-too-distant future: According to reports, the city council has approved the development of ideas for future use, almost 40 years after the dream began to take shape. Kazimierczak is said to have already expressed interest in a collaboration.
