Fenced area - it can be viewed from a distance.

The castle is a bit of a misleading term, but the building is very nice and there is a cool restaurant in the courtyard.

This late Baroque, historic castle was built in the second half of the 18th century for the von Zobeltitz family. Originally a compact, rectangular building with a mansard roof, it was later expanded with side wings. The von Zobeltitz family coat of arms is displayed on the columns of the steel entrance gate. The castle complex, with adjacent agricultural land of almost 9.5 hectares, was offered for sale by the agricultural authority in 2016. The property also includes a remnant of a park dating from the 18th to the 20th century, a gate from the second half of the 18th century, and two outbuildings from the second half of the 18th century that were reconstructed at the beginning of the 20th century.

The palace on the Żuchłowo estate was built around 1791 for Major von Prittwitz. Around 1894, the estate passed into the hands of the von Frankenberg and Ludwigsdorf families, who owned it until the end of World War II. At their initiative, the palace was rebuilt in the first half of the 19th century, gaining its current, neo-Renaissance appearance. After World War II, the building was used by the local State Agricultural Farm (PGR) and then housed a primary school (until 1992). After the school left, the palace changed owners and gradually fell into disrepair.

On the site of the palace, there already existed a defensive Renaissance castle from the turn of the 16th/17th century, likely built by Stanisław Wilkowski. In 1776, Samuel Mielęcki rebuilt it into a Baroque palace – a brick, two-story, rectangular-shaped structure with cylindrical towers at the front. Currently, it is privately owned and falls into increasing disrepair.

Beginnings (14th century): The original castle in Chobień was built in the first half of the 14th century, probably by Duke Henry IV the Faithful or his son Henry V the Iron. It was a Gothic defensive structure, strategically located on the left bank of the Oder, controlling the crossing. The Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) brought about the castle's decline. It was repeatedly occupied and destroyed by imperial and Swedish troops. After the war, despite attempts to rebuild it, the castle never regained its former glory.

The palace is fenced, inaccessible. You can only see what you can see from the street. Behind the palace there is a wild palace park.

The earlier stronghold was destroyed in 1343 by the troops of Casimir the Great, and a brick castle was built in its place, which belonged to the royal estate. The first mentions of Wschowa Castle come from the 14th century. After the partitions, the castle was largely destroyed. At the beginning of the 19th century, a prison was established on the castle's foundations. In the post-war years, until 1999, a clothing factory operated in the building. In 2000, the building was adapted into a hotel and restaurant called "Zamek Królewski".
