Książ Castle and Palm House
Książ Castle is the third largest castle in Poland, after Malbork and Wawel. It is surrounded on three sides by a ravine. It is situated in a picturesque location, on a high rocky cliff.

Today it houses a museum, restaurant, hotel and gift shop. A park extends next to the castle.  

The building is famous for its richly decorated, stylish interiors, among which the Baroque Maximilian Hall is the most impressive. The artistic ceramics and applied porcelain exhibited here, produced in Wałbrzych factories, are also exceptionally beautiful. From the castle tower you can admire the panorama of the Sudety Mountains. You can visit the stables, coach house and indoor riding school.

By the castle's side are carefully maintained multi-level terraces, which can be visited in season from April to September and are miniature French-style gardens. Książ Castle is also famous for its magnificent stud farm and palm house, which is home to over a hundred species of exotic plants imported from all over the world.
