The castle's Mirror Hall features two enormous mirrors (each 14m²) that were manufactured in Paris and transported to Pszczyna, along with five crystal chandeliers that can be lowered to floor level using pulley systems from the attic - a mechanism that still functions today from the Hochberg era.

A palace complex that evolved from a 15th-century Gothic defensive castle into an elegant residence through multiple reconstructions in Renaissance, Baroque, and French Baroque styles. The castle served as the seat of various noble families including the Promnitz, Anhalt-Köthen-Pless, and Hochberg dynasties, with its final architectural form achieved during the 1870-1876 renovation directed by French architect Hippolyte Alexandre Destailleur. During World War I (1915-1916), it housed the German Army's Great General Headquarters where Kaiser Wilhelm II, Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, and General Erich Ludendorff made crucial military decisions for the Eastern Front.
