    Jędrzychów Castle – a detached complex dating from the 13th century, situated on a natural rocky hill in Jędrzychów, which at times served as an Evangelical church (1750-1945).

      The castle in Jędrzychów, which at times served as a Protestant church, dates back to a fortress built in 1295 by Henry III, Duke of Głogów. The castle's vaulted chambers and traces of the moat survived into the early 21st century. In 1331, the building passed into the possession of Sigismund Christopher of Rottenberg. In 1361, Henry V decided to sell the castle along with Polkowice and Chobień. After Maciej Corwin captured Głogów in 1488, Jan II Żagański, the last Duke of Głogów-Żagań from the Piast dynasty, found refuge in the castle. The castle was destroyed again in the 17th century during the Thirty Years' War – on September 12, 1642, Austrian troops burned it down, and it was subsequently destroyed by the Swedes. It was not rebuilt. In 1744, the ruins came into the possession of Christian von Busse, who had a Protestant church built there in 1750.

        A sprawling castle with a striking, tall tower. The architect responsible for the reconstruction of the former complex and its present form was Count Dietrich von der Recke-Vollmerstein (1903), who also financed a steam locomotive that operated on the Polkowice–Rudna Gwizdanów railway line. The last owner of the castle was Baron von Mueffling, who left with his family shortly before the outbreak of war in January 1945. The castle is surrounded by numerous outbuildings, including a former distillery.
