Rich Heritage at Castle Museum
Castle Museum stands as a testament to the architectural evolution from a 12th-century hunting lodge to a grand residence. This museum highlights the history of the Hochberg family, influential landowners in Silesia.
Originally a hunting lodge built by the Opole dukes, the castle evolved into a Renaissance palace in the 17th century and expanded in the 1870s. Exhibiting decor from the 19th century, it encompasses several rooms, including the ornate library and the charming Mirror Chamber where music concerts occur. Unique exhibitions feature a weapon collection in the basement and an array of miniature portraits on the third floor.
