Grodno Castle
On the steep promontory of the Chojna Mountain (450 m above sea level) on Lake Bystrzyckie rise the magnificent ruins of Grodno Castle, once one of the largest and strongest strongholds in Silesia.
Built of stone, on an irregular plan, it is perfectly adapted to the shape of the mountain top. It consists of the oldest part, the upper castle, and the lower castle, built in the 16th century, with outbuildings and a gatehouse. The upper castle has a tall tower, residential buildings and a small courtyard with a medieval water cistern.
