The best road cycling routes around gmina Brzeźnica

The intersection of the Kolej na Rower cycle route with the Velo Sprotavia cycle route, or more precisely the exit from the former to the connection with the latter, is of significant importance in connecting the Nowa Sól and Żagań poviats.

What these ancient walls conceal will delight any lover of art, old libraries, globes, and the Baroque. The library itself boasts a so-called whispering vault, ensuring excellent acoustics in the room. The vault's decoration was created by Georg Wilhelm Neunhertz, a Baroque painter, student and grandson of Michael Willmann.

It stands right at a characteristic crossroads. It's hard to miss.

An impressive building, it's impossible not to notice it when driving along the road!

The church was built in the 14th century. In the first half of the 16th century it was rebuilt. The main body was raised and widened towards the south and east, vaults were built and a sacristy with a gallery was added to the north. It represents a transitional style between Gothic and Renaissance. There is a small lapidarium next to the church, created from the remains of tombstones from the old cemetery.

The castle in Broniszów was built as a knight's building in the late Middle Ages. The first owner was supposedly Bronisław, Count of Bytom Odrzański. At the beginning of the 17th century, the von Kottwitz family expanded the castle into a Renaissance residence on the plan of the letter L. In the elevated, three-storey building, two representative halls were maintained on the ground floor: one of them is covered with a beamed ceiling with an impressive Renaissance stucco decoration from the end of the 16th century, the other is covered with a Renaissance vault with a fitting ornament. The main entrance to the castle is located in the northern façade. It is decorated with a stone late Renaissance portal with the inscription ANNO MISSERIMA FORTUNA QUAE INIMICIS CARET 1608. The Baroque reconstruction from the end of the 17th century brought a change in the order of the windows, a Baroque dome of the northern tower and Baroque plasters at the expense of Renaissance sgraffito plasters. In the 19th century, the castle was rebuilt again. A brick wall and a neo-Gothic observation tower were added to the Renaissance manor house, creating an internal courtyard. The manor house was surrounded by a moat with a pond. The 20th century was not easy for Broniszow Castle. After 1945, the castle gradually fell into ruin. The renovation of this architectural monument began in 2010 and continues to this day. Thanks to our work, you can stay in one of the rooms available to guests and visit the interior of the castle.
