history

In the village, which was first mentioned in 1193, a knight 's seat was built on the banks of the Schweidnitzer Weistritz ( Bystrzyca ), the first known owner of which was the Wroclaw Augustinian sand pen . In the 13th century, a residential tower was probably built over the high bank under noble owners . From 1401 to 1468 the place was owned by the von Schindel, then until 1523 by the barons of Schellendorff . Under the von Mühlheim family, who remained the owner until 1628, the complex was converted into a Renaissance castle, which was destroyed in the Thirty Years War . Ludwig Freiherr von Monteverques bought the ruins and had them rebuilt with an arcade in the inner courtyard.

At the end of the 17th century, the complex was redesigned in early baroque style under Carl Joseph Graf von Oppersdorf . In 1777, the von Tschirschkys rebuilt the tower structure with an octagonal drum . From 1820 the castle was expanded with a tea pavilion, a riding arena, a stables and two guard houses in the classical style. In 1832 Friedrich Wilhelm Graf von Brandenburg , Prussian Prime Minister since 1848, acquired the castle. From 1909, the von Pückler owners were those who were expropriated in 1940 for a dam project.

After the transition to Poland in 1945, the dominium was the seat of an agricultural production cooperative , and the castle was the associated administrative seat. The castle, which is now privately owned, has been falling into disrepair since the 1980s.
