Kliczków Castle
Kliczków Castle draws its style from French castles. Once there was a fortress here, which was meant to defend the Duchy of Świdnica-Jawor. Over the centuries, the building changed owners frequently. The modernization that gave it its current shape took place in the 19th century. At that time, the castle was also surrounded by an English-style garden.
Kliczków Castle is one of the largest structures of its kind in Lower Silesia. It looks truly impressive! It consists of residential wings in the neo-Gothic and neo-Renaissance styles.
Kliczków Castle houses a hotel, a spa center, and an elegant restaurant. Accommodations are available in double rooms (starting from 399 PLN) and apartments. The most luxurious Imperial Suite has an area of over 50m² and consists of a bedroom (with a canopy bed) and a spacious living room. It is distinguished by original 19th-century furnishings and room layout. You can feel like royalty here!
This is a good option for a trip with children, as besides the pool, you will also find a playroom and a ping-pong table, as well as a horse stable in the nearby manor.

Wojanów Palace
Wojanów Palace is the main part of a large estate. It was built between 1603 and 1607 at the behest of Nickel von Zedlitz. Originally characterized by Renaissance style, the palace was rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 18th century, and in the 19th century – in the Neoclassical style with elements of Neo-Gothic.
Within the palace complex, you will find a garden, a brick barn, a stable, and a residential outbuilding. The palace has three floors in the shape of a rectangle with towers at each corner. Like other similar estates, Wojanów Palace changed hands over the years. After World War II, it housed a state-owned farm, the activities of which damaged the building.
Currently, the restored Wojanów Palace offers accommodations. There are rooms available – from single to quadruple occupancy – as well as a Premium SPA room and apartments. The rooms are located both in the Barn and in the Palace itself. Prices start from 369 PLN. Guests also have access to a pool with a sauna.

Karpniki Castle
Karpniki Castle was built in the 14th century. Its current appearance dates back to 1846 and is the work of the architect Friedrich August Stüler. Despite modifications, remnants from the Middle Ages can still be found in the castle: part of the tower and fragments of the north and east wings.
After its turbulent history, which led to destruction, Karpniki Castle was purchased and renovated by private owners. Currently, modernity blends with well-preserved historical spirit in the castle.
You can stay in a Standard castle room for a price starting from 650 PLN per night. However, it’s worth paying attention to the Royal Apartment. It consists of two historical rooms that were the most important rooms of the castle in the times of the Hohenzollern royal family. Its special features include stained glass windows, ceilings adorned with golden stars, 19th-century paneling, and stylish furniture.

Lomnica Palace
Lomnica Palace was built in the 17th century. The main part and two corner residential chambers date back to that time. In the 1720s, modifications were made to the palace’s facade and interiors. However, the most significant changes in the appearance of Lomnica Palace were made between 1838 and 1844.
After World War II, it served as an agricultural school, and later as a primary school. In the 1970s, the complex was abandoned, and during the communist era, it was turned into a state-owned farm, contributing to the ruin of the main palace. It was only in 1992 that descendants of the von Küster family – former owners – in cooperation with partners from Poland regained the estate and restored the palace to its former glory.
Available rooms are divided into two categories: Palace rooms and Arkadia rooms. As you might guess, the former are located in the Palace, and their interiors faithfully reflect the historical character of the place. Rooms from the second category are located in the Manager’s House and are decorated in a cozy, idyllic style. You can also rent the Gardener’s Studio in the Gardener’s Cottage, which can accommodate up to six people.

Lubiechowa Palace
Lubiechowa Palace was built on the site where the hunting castle of the Duke of Jawor, Henry I, once stood. The Duke sold it to private hands along with the village. Later, the estate was bought by Kaspar Otto v. Zedlitz, the grandson of Kaspar von Zedlitz from Podgórki, and it was most likely then that the castle was transformed into a palace.
In the post-war years, the palace housed a holiday center. In subsequent years, it belonged to the commune and unfortunately fell into ruin. The property was bought, and in 2021 it was reopened.
The main Palace has 23 rooms and 1 suite, and in the nearby Agronomist’s House – 7 rooms and 3 suites. Prices start from 230 PLN per night. There are single and double rooms available, as well as Superior rooms with an extra bed. All are decorated in a retro style consistent with the place’s decor. Although Lubiechowa Palace may seem unassuming to you, it is beautifully restored!

Czocha Castle
Czocha Castle was built in 1247 at the behest of the Czech king Wenceslaus I. From 1319 for 70 years, it was ruled by Piast princes. In the following years, the castle returned to the Czech Republic. In 1909, the neglected castle was bought by Ernst Gütschow, who, along with the Berlin architect Bodo Ebhardt, restored its “historical” appearance from 1703.
After the war, the castle became a center for Polish Army officers, which helped it avoid the fate of other similar castles, and it survived in excellent condition until modern times.
Czocha Castle is particularly notable for its themed rooms! Because the building resembles a certain famous castle from fantasy books, you can spend the night in the magical Wizard Boy’s Room! I think many of you would also enjoy the Traveler’s Room. In addition to these, regular rooms are available, divided into Standard and Superior types. When you’re there, it’s worth signing up for a nighttime castle tour!

Gruszów Palace
Gruszów Palace was built around 1830. Shortly afterward, the residence was rebuilt into a representative palace in the Neo-Renaissance style. Immediately after the end of World War II, Gruszów Palace was a place for relaxation and organization of summer camps. By the decision of the provincial conservator of monuments dated November 8, 1980, both the palace and the surrounding park were entered into the register of monuments.
In Gruszów Palace, there are twelve atmospheric rooms available: 4 Standard single rooms, 4 Premium double rooms, two apartments with tiled stoves, a three-room Superior apartment, and a double room “In the Palace Cellar” with a castle-like character. Prices start from 320 PLN. Guests praise the decor and exemplary service.
