Książ Castle in all its glory

Highlight • Castle

The view of the castle from the front is impressive. It's similar with the interior of the castle. I recommend visiting the castle with an audioguide set.

Fürstenstein Castle (Polish: Zamek Książ) is the largest castle in Silesia. It is located on the northern outskirts of the town of Wałbrzych (Waldenburg) in the district of Książ (Fürstenstein) in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship of Poland.

Terrace with a view of Książ Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this place there is probably the most beautiful view of the Książ Castle. At the bottom of the terrace there is a path to the ruins of the old castle.

Stary Książ Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Unfortunately, this time I was on a trip and there was no time to visit the ruins, but if you delay it, you will not escape. You will reach the ruins when you return to the parking lot and turn right onto the forest path.

Today we visited Ksiaz Castle near WLbrzych. It is the largest in Silesia.
The castle garden is very beautiful.
The castle tour with audio guide was very interesting.
Finally, we looked at the Palm House. It is about 20 minutes away on foot, but it was worth the walk. Lots of bonsai, cacti and tropical flowers. There are underground passages …
