The Läusepelz Castle (Latin Laudis Palatium, Polish Zamek w Rybnicy ) is the ruin of a hilltop castle in the village of Rybnica ( Reibnitz ) in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in Poland . It is located on a wooded rocky hill, nine kilometers west of Jelenia Góra ( Hirschberg ) south of the former Reibnitz manor in the direction of Stara Kamienica ( Alt-Kemnitz ). The ruin is a listed building .
history
The castle "Läusepelz" was probably the seat of the Silesian noble family Reibnitz . It is said to have been erected in the 13th century, as a wall inscription preserved until 1758 contained the year 1243. But it may also be a former Beguinage monastery .
The castle, the Duchy of Swidnica belonged, was first in Latin as "Laudis Palatium", and later "lice fur" garbled . The first written sources that prove the existence of the castle date from 1365, when Emperor Charles IV stayed in the castle.
The castle was destroyed in the 15th century, but rebuilt in the 16th century. Renovations took place in the second half of the 18th century and the abandoned building fell into complete disrepair in the 19th century.
architecture
The original appearance of the ruin has been handed down in engravings from the 18th century. The castle was a two-story building with a rectangular floor plan.
