Wroclaw: Moszna Castle Tour

If you like unique architecture, you should definitely visit one of the pearls of Opolskie Region – the Moszna Castle which is located not so far from Wroclaw. We are sure that Walt Disney or Harry Potter fans will be thrilled since it reminds Hogwart or one of the castles from a fairy tale. It was built in the 18th century as a Baroque palace. After a fire which broke out in 1896, the family which had been living here – the Tiele-Winckler family – renovated it and gave it a new shape. The eastern part is built in the neo-Gothic style and the west wing in the Neo-Renaissance style. It has 99 towers and 365 rooms inside. The castle luckily avoided destruction during World War 2. When the war ended in 1945, the Russian Soviet army troops occupied it. Unfortunately, most of the equipment inside was damaged, the works of art such as paintings and sculptures were taken away.
