history
Löwenberg Castle was built under Duke Heinrich I of Silesia in the southwest of the city of Löwenberg. After the division of the Duchy of Liegnitz , the castle was the residence of the Löwenberg Duke Bernhard I from 1278 to 1286 , whom his brother Bolko I inherited in 1286 . This reunited Löwenberg with the Duchy of Jauer . After it was destroyed by fire in 1381, the castle was rebuilt. In 1444 the city of Löwenberg acquired the castle lair . The castle subsequently served as the seat of the governor . During the Hungarian-Bohemian war for supremacy in Bohemia , Löwenberg Castle was burned down in 1472 and demolished at the end of the 15th century. The Hohberg brewery was built in its place in 1865 .
