history
The sale of a Vorwerk on site to the mayor of the city of Löwenberg is documented for 1351 . Via von Zedlitz and Kaspar von Zeckhorn, the estate came to Melchior von Lest at Hohlstein Castle in 1558 . A mansion was probably built under the von Promnitz , who owned the estate from 1627. From 1740, under the von Glaubitz family , today's baroque palace was built.
After Bernhard Wilhelm von Schmettau became the owner, the estate came to Christian Heinrich Ludwig von Schweinitz in 1787 , and in 1796 through the marriage of his daughter to Baron Schuler von Senden .
In 1838, the later district administrator of Löwenberg, Georges von Cottenet , acquired the Braunau castle and estate. He initiated the creation of an English landscape park . Until his death in 1900, a neo-Gothic mausoleum and a horse stable built in the arched style were built. Under his descendants, the castle was rebuilt in a neo-Gothic style between 1901 and 1902 and a glazed winter garden was added. At the end of the 1920s, the estate was sold to a settlement company and a people's sports school was housed in the castle, which was followed by an NSDAP Reich sports school from 1933 . The Cottenet family was expropriated in 1935.
As a result of the Second World War, the Braunau estate and castle, together with Silesia, fell to Poland in 1945. The castle was initially uninhabited. Later it was used as a rest home for employees of the state railway after appropriate repair work and modifications . The Cottonet family mausoleum was left to decay. Today the castle is privately owned and houses a hotel.
