Schrotholzkirche St. Johannes

Golkowitz Castle

The name of the village is derived from the name of the founder, the village of Golkos .

A church in Golkowitz is mentioned for the first time in 1614. On March 12, 1688, the village became Protestant. The first castle is built in 1750. In 1766 the church burned down in the village and was then rebuilt from wood.

In 1814 a school building was built in Golkowitz. This was expanded in 1831. In 1845 there was an Evangelical church, a castle, an Evangelical school, a distillery, a brewery and another 46 houses in the village. In the same year, 461 people lived in Golkowitz, 79 of them Catholic. In 1874 the district Jaschkowitz was founded, to which Golkowitz was incorporated. The first head of office was the manor owner von Tieschowitz in Golkowitz. In 1861 399 people lived in Golkowitz.

In 1933 there were 390 people in Golkowitz. On May 27, 1936, the name of the village was changed to Alteichen . In 1939, 421 people lived in old oaks. Until 1945 the village belonged to the Kreuzburg OS district

As a result of the Second World War, Alteichen fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . The place was subsequently renamed Gołkowice and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Kluczborski ( Kreuzburg district ).

Attractions

The scrap wood church of St. Johannes was built in 1766. A first church is mentioned in the same place as early as 1614, which burned down in the mid-18th century. The church has a choir closed on three sides and a Gothic triptych inside .
The baroque castle was built in 1750 and rebuilt in the 19th and 20th centuries. After 1945 a school was established in the building. Due to the lack of renovations, the castle gradually fell into disrepair. The two-story building has a rectangular floor plan, a mansard roof and a three-story protrusion on the north side. There is a neo-Gothic portal at the main entrance. The garden facade is decorated with a wooden veranda. The castle has been a listed building since 1965.
The landscape park, which is directly adjacent to the castle, has a size of twelve hectares and has old trees. This has been a listed building since 1993.
