Top 3 Castles around gmina gmina gmina Namysłów

Private. There is no fence.

You get quite close to the small castle.

Accessible, but you have to ignore the "Private Property" sign. It's not just the plaster that's crumbling on the building. Wikipedia: Reichen Palace (Pałac Rychnów) was built in 1781 in the Baroque style by Ernest Wentzky. Under Franz von Ohlen and Adlescron, the palace was rebuilt in 1905 in the Neoclassical style. After 1945, the building was used as a school. Today, the palace is privately owned and stands empty.[1] The palace has been a listed building since 1964.[5]

Accessible. Converted to residential use at some point. It looks like a tenement building.

From the former eastern wing, a five-storey tower has been preserved, built on a square plan, octagonal above, with lower storeys from the 14th century, raised in 1622. Made of brick, plastered, covered with a Baroque cupola, with a double lantern.

The castle was erected at the beginning of the 14th century, probably in 1323, when Henry V the Fat renounced the rights to this part of the Duchy of Wrocław and Bierutów was taken over by the dukes of Głogów and Oleśnica. Previously, there was a wooden and earth stronghold in this place, probably founded in the 13th century by Henry III or Henry IV Probus. At the beginning of the 16th century, the Bierutów castle passed into the possession of the Poděbradczyków family, who until 1534 transformed the austere Gothic stronghold into a Renaissance residence with an arcaded courtyard, later introducing Baroque elements. The next owners were the Schindles. The castle suffered several times and was modernized. Among other things, in 1603 it suffered a fire together with the town and was rebuilt around 1620, then the tower was raised, and soon after it did not resist damage during the Thirty Years' War. After Schindlach, the castle passed into the hands of Kristian Ulryk Wirtenberg, who cared very much about his estate. On his initiative, at the end of the 17th century, a gate was erected, the buildings were raised by one floor and gardens were established outside the castle walls. Despite this, in the 18th century it began to deteriorate, and this condition was deepened in the 19th century. In 1886-1887 the eastern wing was so ruined that it was demolished. After the Second World War, which dealt with the remains quite graciously, offices found their place in the castle, from which the forestry inspectorate operates to this day. The tower from the times of the Poděbrady people, which was added in the early 17th century, has been preserved very well from the castle, square at the bottom and octagonal at the top. Currently, it stands alone, included in a series of perimeter walls, but once it was in one block with the eastern wing of the castle. In addition to the tower, there is also an entrance gate and one of the castle buildings with a decorative portal with the coat of arms of the Poděbrady family. The building has a room with stucco decoration on the second floor.

The palace was built in 1781 for Ernest Frederick von Wentzky. A baroque building, erected on a rectangular plan, with slight avant-corpses on the axes. Made of brick and plastered. Storey, on barrel vaulted cellars. The front elevation has nine axes, with a triaxial, slightly protruding two-story avant-corps, preceded by a newer portico with a balcony at the floor level. The risalit and the annex from the west, topped with neo-baroque volute gables. The garden elevation repeats the layout of the front one with an avant-corps topped with a low triangular abutment and a terrace preceded by it. Divisions of walls with pilaster strips and panels in plaster. Two-bay interior layout, almost completely transformed. A mansard roof with newer dormers; over the attics and the annex, saddle roofs, covered with tiles.

The manor house was surrounded by a park complex. A 19th century outbuilding, unfortunately, has survived next to the palace. Palace sold to a private person, fortunately you can see that the renovation has started.
