Abandoned Randau Castle

Highlight • Castle

In 1885 the "Randau Castle" was built on the foundations of the old manor house. The building has a classicist form. It has a staircase and column-arched arches. In addition to various farm buildings, the castle is adjoined by a generous castle park. In the park were originally the typical for such parks buildings such as an obelisk, a roundabout, bridge, aviary, greenhouse, a burial ground and a lookout tower.
1968-1984 the castle was used as a primary school and kindergarten, then it became "Station of young tourists". In 1985 and 1992 partial restoration of the building took place. It was initially planned to set up an education center. Due to the bankruptcy of investor Wyborski, who died suddenly and unexpectedly on April 30, 2001, the project failed. Today the castle is still empty.
