The ruins of the Jeltsch Castle ( Polish Zamek w Jelczu-Laskowicach ) is located on the southern edge of Jelcz (German Jeltsch ) in the Powiat Oławski ( Ohlau ) in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in Poland.
history
In 1245 "Jalche" was confirmed as the property of the Bishop of Wroclaw, but in 1277 it was in ducal hands. On February 18, 1277, Boleslaus the Bald had his nephew captured in Jeltsch. Since there are two castle sites in Jeltsch, one in the northeast, near the classicist manor house , and one on the Oder island in the southwest, it is unclear to which castle this tradition refers.
In 1311 Jeltsch fell to the Duchy of Brieg , was loaned out around 1352, and in 1380 the von Prittwitz family received the right to cut wood in the "war forest" in order to build their house in Jeltsch. In 1447 a "slosz jeltsch located yn the Oder" is called.
From 1508 Konrad Sauermann was the owner, whose family was later ennobled as "Saurma". He converted the medieval fortified castle into a late medieval residential castle. A portal bears the year 1518. After a fire in 1623 the castle was abandoned, but according to other sources it was rebuilt and fortified again. The last reconstruction took place in 1797. The relocation of the family seat of the Saurma to Laskowitz led to the ruin of the castle. In the late 19th century the castle was inhabited by a brewery tenant.
Building stock
The complex was roughly square, diagonal to the north-south direction. The curtain wall is rounded at the western corner. The southeast wing, a Gothic brick building, was possibly a residential building. The north-west and north-east wings were added to the curtain wall at a later date.
