Remains of Katscher Castle

From Castle Katscher that from 1550 to 1600 in Kietrz , Opole Voivodeship was built, have only ruins preserved. The castle was the residence of the Gaschin family , in 1924 Count Edgar Henckel von Donnersmarck bought it . From 1931 the two-storey building served as the mission school of the Vinzenz Pallotti College.

The few remaining fragments show no clear stylistic features. Barrel vaults have been preserved in some rooms. On the east wall there are fragments of the sgraffit decoration from the turn of the 16th to the 17th century and on the facade a stone cartouche of the Gashin family from the 18th century.

The town of Katscher, founded in 1266, presumably also had a castle , the predecessor of the later castle was destroyed in a fire in 1829.
