The Goczałkowice dam was built between 1950 and 1955 on the Vistula River, and its creation led to the formation of the Goczałkowice Lake – one of the largest artificial reservoirs in southern Poland. The main task of the dam is the water supply for Upper Silesia and flood protection. The earth-fill dam itself is about 2.98 km long and 14 m high.

The castle's Mirror Hall features two enormous mirrors (each 14m²) that were manufactured in Paris and transported to Pszczyna, along with five crystal chandeliers that can be lowered to floor level using pulley systems from the attic - a mechanism that still functions today from the Hochberg era.
