Castle in Stare Tarnowice

Highlight • Castle

The first knight's seat in Tarnowice (now a district of Tarnowskie Góry) was located in the vicinity of the parish church, where a small hill has been preserved, which is the remnant of the former knight's stronghold - probably the seat of Adam de Tarnowice - the oldest resident of the settlement known by name, mentioned in documents between 1310 and 1351. Later, Tarnowice was ruled by Święcisław, a member of the court of the Duke of Oleśnica, Konrad II, appointed in 1369 as an arbitrator in the dispute over the division of the Duchy of Bytom. The last known knights from Tarnowice are the knight Sambor, mentioned in 1411, and Mikołaj and Teodor Włodków of the Sulima coat of arms, certified in 1415. The seat in the form of a knight's stronghold functioned in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and was replaced by a renaissance-style castle built in a new place in the sixteenth century with a courtyard and cloisters. The courtyard, surrounded on three sides, was originally open to the north. The founder of the new foundation was probably the knightly Włodek family or Piotr Wrochem, who owned the property in 1525. The castle was rebuilt many times in the following centuries. Among other things, the cloisters were walled up, the entrance hall was rebuilt, and the northern wing was enlarged.
In 1820, count Karol Łazarz Henckel von Donnersmarck from Świerklaniec bought from Gottlieb von Büttner the castle along with the surrounding goods. Tarnowice goods, including together with the Repecki family, they were transformed by Count Guido into a fideicomis for his younger son Kraft, who inherited them in 1916. However, he did not live in the castle, but chose a new palace built near Rept as his seat.

Town Hall in Tarnowskie Góry

Highlight • Monument

The present town hall in Tarnowskie Góry, which can be admired in the southern frontage of the Market Square, was built at the end of the 19th century, when the city was dynamically developing. The plot was purchased in 1894, but construction began two years later. The design was prepared by an architect from Berlin, Hermann Guth. He proposed a magnificent building in the neo-renaissance-neo-gothic style, interestingly very similar to another, realized at the same time, own project - the town hall in Jawor in Lower Silesia. The building was erected in the years 1896-98. Bricks were used for its construction, and for the facade decoration - clinker bricks, Silesian granite and sandstone.
The building has three floors, but a tall tower dominates the body. Numerous turrets, projections topped with gables, balconies and bay windows look impressive. In the front elevation, we can see a stone figure of the goshawk, which replaced the old sculpture of Prince George Hohenzollern. This building is commonly considered the most beautiful (next to Bielsko) town hall in the entire voivodeship. Originally, there were shops on the ground floor of the town hall, the office on the first floor, and the mayor's apartment on the second floor. To this day, the magnificent boarding room of the city council makes a great impression.

Tarnowskie Góry Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

The Market Square in Tarnowskie Góry was formed in the second half of the 16th century. Its shape is irregular, trapezoidal, and this is due to the fact that in the city center, the miners, that is, the dialers, conducted mining works and built houses next to the mining shafts, and not according to the established order. Two shafts in the Market Square were turned into city wells, one of which was reconstructed in the 1950s and still adorns the Market Square in its western part.
