Prószków Castle, Renaissance castle in Prószków, Poland

The castle consists of four wings arranged around a rectangular courtyard, with corner bastions and two towers on its front facade.

Baron Georg von Proskau constructed the castle in 1563, replacing an earlier defensive structure that previously stood at this location.

The castle walls feature sgraffito decorations depicting battle scenes and mythological motifs, with Renaissance portals adorning the entrances.

The former residence now functions as a social care facility, situated within a landscape park dating from the late 18th century.

The castle housed the first faience factory in Europe, established by Leopold von Proskau in 1763 in the northern wing.
