Kliczków Castle

Kliczków was founded as a border fortress at the river Kwisa by Duke Bolko I of Jawor in 1297.In 1881, the architects Heinrich Joseph Kayser and Karl von Großheim from Berlin began an expansion of the castle.The castle survived the Second World War virtually unscathed, but the interior was looted by Soviet troops.In the 1950s, the castle was in the care of the local forest authority, which neglected the interior and ruined the stucco and the stoves.After the fall of Communism, a commercial company from Wrocław purchased the castle and developed it into a luxurious conference and recreation center that was opened in 1999.
