Trivia[]
- This castle is based loosely on the Będzin Castle in Poland.
- Sometimes in the level a weird, mechanical sound can be randomly hear as presented here. In the game files it is named "Ptak.wmv" which literally translates to "Bird.wmv" indicating that this is in fact a modified bird sound. The same sound is present in Snowy Bridge.
