history
From the 15th century at the latest there was a knight's seat in the place. From the end of this century the place was owned by the von Reichenbach, who had a permanent house built with a surrounding moat in the second half of the 16th century . After 1596 the mansion was owned by the von Polsnitz, known as "von Dachs". In 1637 the castle was sold to Hanns Christoph von Schweinitz . From 1732 the manor house was expanded in a baroque style, as evidenced by a contemporary view by Friedrich Bernhard Werner . The balcony portal and stairwell come from the baroque remodeling of the manor house.
In connection with the Battle of Landeshut in 1760, the castle was devastated. From 1763 Karl Ferdinand Sigismund von Seherr-Thoss was the owner, when the place was raised as a "pack town" by Friedrich II .
From 1797, Karl Heinrich von Prittwitz had the palace redesigned in a classical style. A facade structure with Ionic colossal pilasters with stuccoed acanthus tendrils and a palmette frieze was created over the baroque plastered fields . In 1846 a two-storey wooden loggia was added. From 1900 the castle was owned by Friedrich Freiherr Senfft von Pilsach, from 1917 owned by Eduard von Eichborn.
After the People's Republic of Poland took over the region, an orphanage and later a school were set up in the castle. In the 1990s the building fell into disrepair until it was restored in 2005. In this renaissance temporal murals discovered.
Today the castle houses a restaurant and a museum.
