history

Carl Georg Heinrich Graf Hoym had Dyhernfurth Castle built by Carl Gotthard Langhans between 1780 and 1785 as a classicist conversion of a baroque castle. In the 19th century, an unknown French architect redesigned it in the style of a Loire castle . The castle suffered severe damage in 1945.

The reconstruction by the People's Republic of Poland gave it the look of Langhans' design. The castle has been registered in the Register of Monuments of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship since May 31, 1950 under A / 2663/227 .
