Płakowice Castle, Renaissance castle in Płakowice, Poland.
The three-winged castle features arcaded walkways, Ionic columns, and corner alcoves surrounding a central courtyard with decorative Renaissance portals.
Between 1550 and 1563, Rampold von Talkenberg constructed this castle after relocating from Podskale, making it the largest fortification in Lower Silesia.
The castle portal displays medallions depicting the founder and his wife, along with a heraldic frieze showing multiple noble families' coats of arms.
The Baptist Christian Church acquired the castle in 1992 and transformed it into the Christian Center Elim, offering prayer programs and English language lessons.
During World War II, the castle served as a mental health facility until 1945, followed by a period housing Korean orphans in the 1950s.
