Castelo de Chudów

A nice place to pass by on a way to Gliwice from south-east

Chudów Castle - ruins of a Renaissance castle in Chudów from the 1530s, built by the nobleman Jan Saszowski from Gierałtowice (aka Gierałtowski from Gierałtowice, from the Saszowski House of the Saszor coat of arms) on the site of a wooden defensive tower. The building was made of stone and brick, originally on a rectangular plan, with a central courtyard with cloisters and a well. The complex had two three-story residential buildings, covered with high gable roofs and a quadrangular, five-story tower, covered with a high hipped roof, with the main entrance from the south-west with a wooden bridge over the castle moat. The sixth storey was added during the 19th-century reconstruction, carried out by the then owner of the castle - Aleksander von Bally. In 1874, the castle burned down. pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamek_w_Chudowie
