A castle with a phenomenal history, dating back to 1155, when it is mentioned in a papal bull of Pope Hadrian IV.

A turbulent history, as usual! It was first built as a wooden castle, but Henry the Bearded rebuilt it into a brick one. Later it was transformed into one of the most beautiful Gothic-Renaissance castles in Silesia.

The location of the castle, on a basalt hill, is truly beautiful.

This is also the northern end (or beginning) of the Piast Castle Trail. It is hard to imagine a better end or beginning of this beautiful, historical trail for hikers.

Lovely old castle, when we visited on a rainy day we were the only ones.

The castle is open to the public. Interesting castle halls. Possible overnight stay. Very nice done. It captures the atmosphere. I recommend.
