The background is that Musk has been reported to be looking for a suitable location for a European headquarters for his companies, and as an example, an "Italian castle" has been mentioned, according to the news agency AP.

But in little Glogowek, they hope that southern Poland will do just as well.

Our castle has a good "vibe" and is a perfect place to create big things, says Bujak.

Moreover, he adds, around Glogowek they also produce wine, just like in Italy.

We don't feel that we are worse than Tuscany. We have a perfect climate and are the best place on earth.

The mayor has tried to contact Musk via X and sent physical letters to the billionaire's lawyers, but has not received a response. No price tag for the castle has been made public either.

The 13th-century castle has a rich history. In the 17th century, it was temporarily the residence of Polish King John Casimir, son of Swedish King Sigismund III, and in the 19th century, Ludwig van Beethoven wrote his fourth symphony there.
