Top 6 Castles around powiat cieszyński

Nice place, but the access is terrible.

View of the Lagoon and the President's Castle. Until 2024, there was an observation deck here, but it was demolished for safety reasons.

The first castle was erected at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. This is evidenced by the discovered fragments of walls with a Gothic origin. Also, the very location of the object suggests its defensive character. Located on the Pietrówka River, it was surrounded by a pond from the east and north, and a swampy meadow from the west. Due to later reconstructions and the lack of iconographic materials, it is not possible to reconstruct its original appearance. The oldest owners of the castle were the Mikesz family from Jedłownik (around 1467),

After the fire in the palace, the Silesian Sejm decided to build a new, more representative building for the purpose of a holiday residence for the President of the Republic of Poland as a gift from Silesia and the Silesians for the head of state. An outstanding Krakow architect, prof. Adolf Szyszko-Bohusz, who in the years 1929–1931 designed a complex of modernist buildings. In the place of the former hunting palace, the so-called The Lower Castle, intended for the presidential entourage. The Lower Castle and the Gajówka, apart from the periods when the President of the Republic of Poland or his guests stay in the residence, serve as hotel and conference rooms and are open to the public. Already in the early 1930s, the castle was powered by electricity, had its own drinking water intake, central heating and its own two-chamber sewage treatment plant. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_Castle_of_the_Republic of Poland_w_Wi%C5%9Ble https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_WQ2ZJLZpM

Great place to eat very good typical Polish food. Especially worth trying are their grilled meats and the "grochówka", a fantastic soup cooked in the outside military kitchen.

Cute and charming little town with a beautiful old castle (unfortunately not in a very good state) and a small pearl: a beautiful wooden church. A very charming place.
