Top 9 Castles around gmina Pieszyce

This historic palace will blow you away! That facade—I wish my house looked like that! Built in the 17th century as a Baroque manor house, it was later rebuilt, and its history is remarkable. For example, during World War II, it housed the design office of the German Nazi Organization Todt, and after World War II, under communism, it was used to store hay from state-owned farms! Today, there are neither Nazis nor hay here, but instead, there is a museum, a hotel, a hostel, and ballrooms.

I saved myself the entrance fee, which now costs 40 zlotys (or 35 zlotys for a reduced rate), and the climb. Instead, I spent the extra money eating nalesniki and drinking a coffee at the "Ritter Restaurant." A digital tour of the castle flashed across the screen. I'll have to refrain from the main attraction, climbing the castle tower, anyway, due to my fear of heights.

Grodno Castle

The brewing tradition in Jedlinka dates back to the 18th century. The brewery was originally located in the northern annex of the palace, which is now in ruins. The new owners rebuilt the old farm building standing next to it and opened a brewery and a hotel there.

The palace from 1864. It stands on the foundations of a much earlier building, probably from the 17th century. Under part of the palace there are still cellars with cross vaults, which are the remains of the former residential tower. At the northern and southern corners of the palace there were two more free-standing wings, which closed the entire composition. In the northern wing there was a brewery, and in the southern one there was an apartment for the estate manager. The palace survived World War II. It was the seat of the TODT organization, which, among other things, supervised the construction of the "Rise" complex. After the war, there was an Orphanage here, and from 1967 the palace became the property of the Głuszyce Textile Plants "Piast". Today, the palace is in private hands. It is slowly being renovated and its former appearance is being restored. The palace is open to visitors (on weekends). The southern outbuilding has also been renovated, but the northern one (the former brewery) has completely collapsed and only fragments of walls remain.

Grodno Castle (German: Kynsburg) – a historic castle located in the Black Mountains (part of the Wałbrzych Mountains), on the top of Mount Choina (450 m above sea level) rising above the left bank of the Bystrzyca River. The valley of this river, once called the Silesian Valley, is a natural border between the Owl Mountains and the Wałbrzych Mountains located to the west of them. The picturesque location of the castle is enhanced by the Bystrzyckie Lake located at the foot of the mountain.
