Oleśnica Castle, Medieval castle in Oleśnica, Poland
The castle features a four-wing layout with three stories, underground chambers, and a central courtyard surrounded by Renaissance-style arcaded galleries.
The structure evolved from a defensive stronghold in 1239 to a Renaissance residence under the patronage of the Podiebrad dynasty during the 16th century.
The castle served as the residence of Silesian nobles, including the Piast dynasty, Podiebrad family, and later German aristocratic houses until 1945.
The castle now functions as a tourist attraction with guided tours, accommodation facilities, and spaces for special events throughout the year.
The eastern wing contains preserved sgraffito decorations and an octagonal staircase connecting it to the southern section of the building.
