I only saw from a distance

The castle is located in Wächterburg on the shopping street Eger - Asch - in Central Germany. It was a fort in the 17th century, surrounded by a baroque castle. Now runs the restoration; unfortunately very long. The castle served as a guard castle on the trade route Eger - Asch - to central Germany. It was later a fortress until it was rebuilt in the 17th century as a Baroque castle. Recovery is now in progress; unfortunately very slow.

Castle Park ?. Unfortunately, the chateau is half-ruined.

The torso of the castle at the end of the republic is not much worth the state

A nice castle, built essentially as a wall around a church that is in the middle - perhaps on the site of a former fortress. You can see that the owner is trying to fix it and come back because some parts have been completely collapsed. At the same time, there was a very nice park in front of the castle, so hopefully the owner can handle it and once we can see the whole castle from the inside. ?

Ogrodzieniec Castle Ruins

Ogrodzieniec Castle is a ruined medieval castle originally built in the 14th–15th century by the W³odkowie Sulimczycy family. Established in the early 12th century, during the reign of Boles³aw III Wrymouth, the first stronghold was razed by the Tatars in 1241. In the mid-14th century a new gothic castle was built here to accommodate the Sulimczycy family. Surrounded by three high rocks, the castle was well integrated into the area. The defensive walls were built to close the circuit formed by the rocks, and a narrow opening between two of the rocks served as an entrance.

In 1470 the castle and lands were bought by the wealthy Cracovian townsmen, Ibram and Piotr Salomon. Then, Ogrodzieniec became the property of Jan Feliks Rzeszowski, the rector of Przemy¶l and the canon of Cracow. The owners of the castle about that time were also Jan and Andrzej Rzeszowskis, and later Pilecki and Che³miñski families. In 1523 the castle was bought by Jan Boner.
