Rebuilt several times in its history, the castle was originally built in the 14th–15th century by the Włodkowie Sulimczycy family.

Nikiszowiec district in Katowice

Nikiszowiec is a part of an administrative district Janów-Nikiszowiec of Katowice city. Initially it was coal miners' settlement of Giesche mine built on the land of Gieschewald manor (Giszowiec) between 1908–1918 on the mining – metallurgical concern initiative Georg von Giesches Erben.

The remnants of the original workers' housing estate familoks (specialized multi-family residences) comprise one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments and signed on a list of the National Heritage Board of Poland.

Nikiszowiec is mainly known for its uniquely uniform architecture – red brick buildings accented with red-painted windowframing, and narrow streets joined by nice arcade. The neighbourhood was designed by Georg and Emil Zillman of Berlin-Charlottenburg to be a completely self-sufficient community for 1,000 workers with a school, hospital, police station, post office, swimming pool, bakery and church.

Please have a look at some photos that I took there.

Bourbon vanilla from Réunion.

Bourbon vanilla, one of the type of vanilla, is taking its name from Réunion that was formerly the Île Bourbon. This term doesn't embrace only the vanilla produced in Reunion but also on Indian Ocean islands such as Madagascar, the Comoros. Anyway, Réunionnais claim that vanilla from Réunion is of higher quality than for example this one from Madagascar.

Please have a look at these photos taken at vanilla plantation in a forest of Réunion Island.
