history
In the 16th century Neudorf belonged to the von Schellendorf family, who had their first castle built in 1565. In the 18th and 19th centuries the von Czettritz , Gellhorn and Stolberg-Wernigerode owned the castle. Under Wilhelm Graf von Perponcher-Sedlnitzky, new neo-Gothic farm buildings were built.

At the end of the Second World War, the castle was the relocation site for Wroclaw library holdings, which were destroyed when the castle was occupied by the Red Army. The looted castle was used for residential purposes and fell into disrepair. The castle, now in private ownership, has now been carefully restored.
