Pieszyce Castle, Renaissance castle in Pieszyce, Poland

The three-wing palace features mansard roofs with dormers, a quadrangular tower, and decorative window frames across its symmetrical facade.

Built around 1550, the castle underwent major expansions between 1615-1617 under Ernst von Gellhorn and again from 1710 to 1730.

The castle served as a temporary residence for Russian Tsar Alexander I in 1813 during negotiations against Napoleon in nearby Dzierżoniów.

The castle contains 66 rooms spread across 3,000 square meters, with a grand entrance hall and a central staircase in the southern section.

The castle includes its own metalworking facilities where builders manufactured iron products instead of purchasing them from external sources.
