One of the most valuable and impressive monument of Oleśnica, as well as one of the most remarkable castles in Lower Silesia. It was built in the fourteenth century and located in the southwestern part of the city fortifications. Earlier, before 1238, there was probably a prince's stronghold here, and in 1245 a castellany was established. Until 1492, the principality of Oleśnica belonged to the Silesian Piasts, and after the death of Konrad IX the White, the Castle passed in 1495 to the prince of Ziębice, Henry I, then Prince Jan, the sons of the Czech King Jerzy of Poděbrady. From 1647, the castle was managed by princely families from the von Wirttenberg-Weiltigen family, then von Braunschweig. In 1884, the Castle becomes the throne feud of the Prussian monarchy and the residence of the successor of the Prussian throne, and since 1926, after many negotiations - the private property of the von Hohenzollern family. The construction was probably started by Konrad I Olesnicki, but the period of splendor of the castle falls during the reign of the Czech king George of Poděbrady, who took possession of the Duchy of Olesnica after the expiry of the local Piast line. The first of the owners was Henry I the Elder of Podiebrad, and after his death his sons: Albrecht, Jerzy I and Karol I. The son of the last - Jan of Podiebrad, began the great reconstruction of the castle. In the first stage (from 1542) he expanded the west wing and the tower. He also built a quadrangular building for himself, four-storey with a gable roof. John's nephew - Karol II, gave the castle its present form. He built the eastern wing and the Renaissance completely, supported by cloisters, which give the courtyard an elegant character. Currently, the castle is open to the public, it is also a place to organize numerous special events and has accommodation facilities.
