Pläswitz Castle
The Pläswitz Castle ( Polish Pałac w Pielaszkowicach ) is the ruin of a castle in Pielaszkowice ( Pläswitz ) in Powiat Średzki ( Neumarkt district ) in the municipality of Udanin ( Gäbersdorf ) in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in Poland.
Pläswitz was created in the 12th century by the locator Peter Wlast . In 1375 Governor Thimo VII von Colditz received rule over the place. Under Hans von Mühlheim, a renaissance castle with a central tower, a bastion in front and a moat was built in 1577 . After 1659 the castle was owned by the von Rechenbergs , from 1700 it was rebuilt under the von Nostitz family in the early baroque style.
By marriage, the castle came to Dietrich von Bunddenbrock , under whom the castle received, among other things, a mansard roof and its characteristic red paint. In 1813 the Pläswitz armistice was signed between Napoleon on the one hand and Prussia and Russia on the other.
A fire devastated the castle in 1948. The castle park has run wild.
