    Peterwitz Castle. Not accessible, but can be admired from the gate. In 1536, Gregor von Reichenbach von Peterwitz sold the Frankenstein hereditary bailiwick, which he had previously owned, to the town of Frankenstein. His son, Fabian von Reichenbach, Lord of Peterwitz, was governor of Frankenstein from 1581 until his death in 1605 and built Peterwitz Castle around 1600.

    After the First Silesian War, Peterwitz fell to Prussia in 1742. Following the reorganization of Prussia, it belonged to the Province of Silesia from 1815 onward and, from 1818 onward, was incorporated into the Frankenstein District in Silesia, with which it remained until 1945.

    In 1820, Peterwitz passed to the Counts Strachwitz, who had been based in Upper Silesia since the Middle Ages, and who owned it until its expropriation in 1945. Source: Wikipedia

      The beginnings of the castle are unknown. Different dates are given, sometimes the 13th century, sometimes the 15th. It is known that around 1600 the castle was rebuilt in the Renaissance style. At that time it was surrounded by a wall and a moat. In the 17th century it was enlarged, and later, in the 18th and 19th centuries it was rebuilt twice. Today's appearance is the result of all this work. After World War II, the castle became the property of the State Centre for Embryo Breeding. The castle was used for offices, and later it housed a library, a café and a village community centre. Today the castle is still in state hands. It belongs to the National Centre for Supporting Agriculture.

        A gem out of the way. A bit neglected. A wonderful setting for a lake and a small park.
