WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A town in Poland is encouraging Elon Musk to buy its vast 13th-century castle and turn it into his European headquarters.
The mayor of Glogowek, Piotr Bujak, said Tuesday that he recently posted the invitation on Musk’s social media platform X and has sent letters to his companies, advocating for him to buy the castle.
As of now, no price has been revealed, and Musk has yet to comment on the proposal.
Bujak informed The Associated Press that he came across media coverage in Europe indicating that the American tech billionaire is seeking a significant site, potentially a castle in Italy, to serve as a base for his activities in the region.
The Glogowek castle, located in the southwestern region of Poland, has a fascinating history that dates back to the Middle Ages. In the 17th century, it even functioned as the capital of Poland for a short period. Notably, the castle was a place where the renowned composer Ludwig van Beethoven stayed and created some of his music.
"Bujak shared with the AP that 'the castle exudes a wonderful atmosphere and serves as an ideal setting for amazing events.'"
The region boasts a rich history of winemaking.
"Bujak expressed, 'We don't consider ourselves inferior to Tuscany. Our climate is ideal, and this truly is the finest place on the planet.'"
Glogowek boasts a charming setting that is conveniently located near the European capitals of Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, and Warsaw. Additionally, there is space available for a helicopter landing pad.
The castle is in need of extensive restoration and is seeking a private investor, yet it provides ample space for both residential and commercial use. It is owned by the municipality.
