Castle in Pszczyna - a former magnate residence in Pszczyna (German: Pless) in Upper Silesia, which was built on the site of a defensive Gothic castle from the early 15th century, probably built on the site of an earlier fortification. The castle was then rebuilt in the 16th century in the Renaissance style, in the 18th century in the Baroque style, and again in the 19th century in the French Baroque style from the time of Louis XIII. In the Middle Ages, it was owned by, among others, the Dukes of Opole-Racibórz, the Dukes of Opava and the Dukes of Cieszyn. In the years 1548–1765 it belonged to the Silesian Promnitz family, from 1765–1847 to the princes of Anhalt-Köthen-Pless, and from 1847 to the princes Hochberg von Pless of Książ. In the years 1870–1876, they rebuilt the castle, as a result of which it acquired its current architectural shape in the neo-baroque style.
