Leśna Castle on Szczytnik

An interesting place, although the castle itself does not have the old atmosphere - it has passed through the hands of many owners.

a historic castle and palace complex consisting of three wings: a medieval-Renaissance castle and two palace wings in the Baroque style, located in Międzylesie. The castle is located almost in the center of the town, almost next to national road no. 33. There is a hotel and a restaurant on site. The castle can be visited for a fee - children up to 5 years old are free.

A very nice little town. There is a castle (partly abandoned, partly with a restaurant), there is a church, and there is a market square. During the pandemic, it was quite poor with restaurants, but maybe life will come back here, because it is actually quite a nice starting point to the mountains surrounding the city.

A piece of history to see and well told. Sightseeing without and with a guide. Various tourist routes including night and underground. From November to the end of April from 9.00-16.00, but the last entrance with the possibility of visiting the main route and the labyrinth of underground corridors starts at 13.30. Alone at the latest at 3 p.m., but remember that until 4 p.m. In high season, of course, these periods are extended. I recommend.

Pierwszy zamek zbudowany w średniowieczu powstał na północ od istniejącej obecnie budowli i zniszczono w czasie wojen husyckich, a ostatecznie rozebrano w 1804 roku[1]. Nowy pałac na obecnym miejscu zaczęto wznosić około 1573 roku, a rozbudowano go do obecnych rozmiarów i nadano charakter barokowy w latach 1653–1657 pod kierunkiem Wawrzyńca Nicelo, a później Andrei Carove. W tym czasie zaczęto rozbudowywać część gospodarczą. Ponowna przebudowa nastąpiła w 1735, według daty na wieży zamkowej. W latach 1900–1906 podczas prac renowacyjnych unowocześniono system wodno-kanalizacyjny w pałacu. Wzbogacono dekorację elewacji pałacu. Do dzisiaj zachowało się wykonane wówczas sgraffito. Wykonano w tynku dekorację szczytów południowego i północnego, a także czterech małych szczytów od strony wschodniej i zachodniej na dachu skrzydła głównego – złożyły się na nią pilastry, wiązki gzymsów, narożne sterczyny. Przez prawie 300 lat rodowa siedziba Herbersteinów. Pierwsza połowa XIX w. była czasem rozkwitu. Pałac od 1880 był dostępny dla publiczności i stał się atrakcją ziemi kłodzkiej. Teatr dworski rozwijał się jako filia teatru w Lądku Zdroju (niem. Bad Landeck). Park był jednym z pierwszych barokowych założeń ogrodowych na Śląsku. Prace nad nim rozpoczęto w połowie XVII w. w stylu baroku włoskiego i austriackiego. Na jednym z obrazów z 1738 uwidoczniono połączenie pałacu z ogrodem przez tzw. sala terrena, czyli salą na parterze, zazwyczaj w głównej osi pałacu, łącząca ogród z przedsionkiem lub schodami. Sala terrena jest typowa dla zamku z XVIII w. Około 1800 ogrody zostały przekształcone w park krajobrazowy. W XIX w. pałac i park po otwarciu dla społeczeństwa stały się okoliczną atrakcją[3]. Zamek został znacjonalizowany w 1945 przez władze polskie, został opuszczony w latach 60. XX w. i popadał w ruinę; w wyniku czego ostatnich latach zawaleniu uległa część dziedzińca południowego. W 2012 jego właścicielem została Fundacja Pałac Gorzanów i przystąpiono do renowacji obiektu. Przykryto zrekonstruowanymi dachami skrzydło wschodnie i zachodnie, rekonstruowane są stropy, przemurowano rozspojone mury. Od 2012 nowy właściciel prowadzi prace rekonstrukcyjne. 21 września 2013 uruchomiono zegar na wieży zamkowej. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamek_w_Gorzanowie Strona fundacji opiekującej się pałacem: http://palacgorzanow.pl/
