    In the Pszczyna park, near the castle and the chapel "Be Your Will", there is a hill overgrown with old trees above the pond. At its top, you can see a tomb surrounded by an iron fence. These are the Hochbergs' graves. Duke Hans Heinrich XV, who ruled Pszczyna in the years 1907-38, and his son Bolek were buried under the modest tombstones. It was supposed to be a temporary place of their burial, before they were moved to the main family seat in Książ, but the turmoil of war and post-war times did not allow it, so the last owners of Pszczyna stayed here forever.
    Many may be surprised how modest the burial place is, the last owner of a large part, not only of Upper Silesia.
