Top 9 Castles around Resko

The history of the New Castle in Płoty begins in 1577, when the Osten family, the previous owners of the Old Castle, sold it to the Blücher family. However, they did not leave Płoty, but bought a plot of land near the former seat and built a new castle on it, similar to the old one. This one was also surrounded by ramparts and a moat, although it did not serve a military function. Initially, it was smaller and more modest than the old one, but over time, after further reconstructions, it became increasingly magnificent and representative. The castle underwent its greatest modernizations at the beginning of the 18th century and at the beginning of the 19th century. It gained its current appearance after another reconstruction in the years 1910-1912.

The Old Castle in Płoty was built as early as the 13th century. It was a rectangular, four-story building surrounded by a defensive wall. The castle repeatedly changed its appearance and owners. The greatest modernization took place in the 14th and 15th centuries, and in the 16th century, it was rebuilt into a Renaissance residence. In 1860, the castle burned down and remained in ruins until after the war. In the years 1959–1967, the castle was rebuilt and designated for municipal cultural institutions.

built in the 13th century on the Rega River to protect trade routes from the Baltic Sea to the south of the continent and from Szczecin to Białogard.

Currently, the building houses the Municipal Library, the Zamek Cinema, the Tourist and Economic Information Centre and the Świdwin Cultural Centre.

Very nice, large castle. Wrongly called the Teutonic castle - it is the castle of the Knights of St. John

Very nice castle. Wrongfully called the Teutonic Knights' Castle, because it is a Knights' Castle, but a nice monument

the first wooden castle was built in 1260–1270. The first mention of the castle in a document issued on the occasion of the division of the duchy into districts appeared in 1295. It is known that the castle was divided and its owners were the Borek and Vidant families. In 1365, Vidanci sold their part to the Pomeranian prince Bogusław V. It is believed that at that time the castle was rebuilt into a fully brick building. In 1447, the castle returned to Borki in its entirety. However, the greatest destruction was caused by the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) and the Russian army passing through it. Probably then the Borków castle was also destroyed. A modern manor house was built in its place in 1774. Around 1826, when the Borek family died out, the castle hill and landed estates were taken over by the von Bülow family. It was probably then that the half-timbered Borków manor house was demolished, and the hill and the surrounding area were afforested, creating the beginning of the park
