Top 14 Castles around gmina Nowa Sól

The castle is unfortunately closed. It has been undergoing renovations for years, with no end in sight.

In the place of the present palace there was already a castle of the Dukes of Głogów, mentioned since 1468, passed on to the von Rechenberg family. At the end of the 16th century, Hans von Rechenberg rebuilt it in the Renaissance style. In the mid-17th century, the estate passed into the hands of the Barwitz family (von Fernemont). After a great fire in 1721, the former castle was rebuilt in the years 1732–1735 as a two-storey Baroque residence, preserving part of the older structure. The palace served as the residence and archive of the Reich Main Security Office, as well as Heinrich Himmler; a unique collection of books on Freemasonry and witch trials was gathered here. After the war, it was transformed into, among other things, a Children's Home (1957–2006); previously it housed the tax office, ZHP, OSP and a playhouse.

An impressive building, it's impossible not to notice it when driving along the road!

The castle in Broniszów was built as a knight's building in the late Middle Ages. The first owner was supposedly Bronisław, Count of Bytom Odrzański. At the beginning of the 17th century, the von Kottwitz family expanded the castle into a Renaissance residence on the plan of the letter L. In the elevated, three-storey building, two representative halls were maintained on the ground floor: one of them is covered with a beamed ceiling with an impressive Renaissance stucco decoration from the end of the 16th century, the other is covered with a Renaissance vault with a fitting ornament. The main entrance to the castle is located in the northern façade. It is decorated with a stone late Renaissance portal with the inscription ANNO MISSERIMA FORTUNA QUAE INIMICIS CARET 1608. The Baroque reconstruction from the end of the 17th century brought a change in the order of the windows, a Baroque dome of the northern tower and Baroque plasters at the expense of Renaissance sgraffito plasters. In the 19th century, the castle was rebuilt again. A brick wall and a neo-Gothic observation tower were added to the Renaissance manor house, creating an internal courtyard. The manor house was surrounded by a moat with a pond. The 20th century was not easy for Broniszow Castle. After 1945, the castle gradually fell into ruin. The renovation of this architectural monument began in 2010 and continues to this day. Thanks to our work, you can stay in one of the rooms available to guests and visit the interior of the castle.

The castle can be visited, the interior is paid, but for free we have a beautiful courtyard and a pleasant trip around. Nicely restored.

The Baroque castle (palace) was rebuilt in 1745 and 1957. From the 18th century, it was the property of the Counts of Cosel, then the Princes of Siedlisko: Johann Carl, Prince of Schönaich-Carolath, married to Johanna Wilhelmina, Princess of Anhalt-Köthen, and their younger son Ferdinand (born 1763)[3]. The last owner of the palace before World War II was the second wife of the last German Emperor, Wilhelm II Hohenzollern, Hermina, who lived in the palace until 1922 and after the emperor's death until April 1945. From 1956, the palace housed a tuberculosis preventorium for children, from 1976 - a Children's Sanatorium, and from 1998 - a Centre for the Treatment of Children and Youth. The castle together with the farmstead, which includes: three outbuildings, an outbuilding (currently a school), a stable (currently a hotel), a morgue, a greenhouse, two utility buildings and a park constitute the castle complex. Above the main entrance in the cartouche are the coats of arms: the Schönaich-Carolath family (on the left) and a complication of coats of arms (on the right, including: in the central field of the shield and in the upper right field the coat of arms of Saxony, Count von Schlabrendorf).
