Tips from the Community
The magnificent Baroque-Renaissance building owes its former splendor to one woman – the legendary Princess Daisy (Mary Theresa Olivia Cornwallis-West), wife of Hans Heinrich XV von Hochberg. This icon of European aristocracy and beauty was famous for her charitable work and... an incredible 7-meter-long string of pearls, associated with a dark legend about a curse (according to which the pearls brought financial ruin and personal tragedies to the Hochberg family). Daisy died in poverty in Wałbrzych in 1943, and her grave in the park remains unfound to this day, as loyal servants moved the coffin several times for fear of desecration by soldiers. After the war in 1945, the castle was occupied by the Red Army – the Soviets completely looted the priceless library and devastated the interiors, irreversibly destroying priceless Baroque stucco and historical furniture.

Although she had more powerful and luxurious castles at her disposal, it was Cisy that became her favorite residence, from where she ruled the entire duchy for 24 years with a strict "iron hand" – which in the Middle Ages was a total anomaly in a world ruled by men Zamek, w którym hitlerowcy ukryli...

It is said that in the 1940s, the Germans carried out mysterious earthworks in the area of the ruins, and treasure hunters still scour the 7-meter-deep water cistern carved into the rock today, hoping that deposits from nearby Wałbrzych were hidden under the rubble Zamek Cisy - Zamki znane i nieznaneZamek, w którym hitlerowcy ukryli...

In the 19th century, the ruins gained a new life as... a romantic setting for wealthy spa guests from the famous resort of Szczawno-Zdrój, who came here by carriage for luxurious picnics stylized as medieval feasts Zamek Cisy - Zamki znane i nieznane.

For years, guidebooks stated that the first mention of a wooden stronghold at this site dated back to 1243 ZAMEK CISY - Zamki Polskie. However, modern historians examined this parchment and discovered that it is... a brazen 13th-century forgery, created by former officials to extort land rights Zamek Cisy - Zamki znane i nieznane! The true history of the stone fortress only began at the end of the 13th century thanks to Bolko I the Strict Zamek Cisy - Zamki znane i nieznane. The castle's darkest period occurred in the mid-14th century – the powerful fortress had slipped from the control of the dukes and became the official nest of robber-knights (Raubritter), who would mercilessly plunder merchants traveling from Bohemia towards Świdnica and Wrocław from the tower ZAMEK CISY - Zamki PolskieRuiny Zamku Cisy na Dolnym Śląsku - Klub Podróżników.
