Gola Castle
Poland, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Dzerjonjuwski
Description:
Gola Castle is located in the south-west of Poland, in the village of Gola Dzerjoniowska of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship. Construction of the castle began in the second half of the XVI century Silesian feudal lord Leonard von Rochnau. The stone for construction was taken from granite rock. At the beginning of the XVII century, the architecture of the castle was supplemented by new elements in the Renaissance style, which finally formed its appearance.
In 1821, the castle became the property of Baron Pritwitz-und-Gaffon, whose family owned the estate until the end of World War II, during which the building suffered significant damage.
In the postwar period, the castle was not restored and gradually turned into ruins.
In the 2000s a large-scale reconstruction of the castle was carried out. Currently, there is a luxury hotel with a restaurant and a spa. The castle has a park of more than 13 hectares. The Gola River flows through the park, there are also several picturesque ponds.
