Gorzanów, Renaissance castle village in Lower Silesia, Poland.

The village contains a notable castle complex with more than 100 interior chambers situated within a 6.6-hectare parkland near Kłodzko County.

The settlement, initially named Arnoldsdorf and later Grafenort, changed ownership multiple times between Poland, Bohemia, and Prussia before receiving its current name in 1945.

The castle became a center for theatrical performances and Jesuit dramas during the ownership period of the Grafen von Herberstein family in the 17th century.

The Palace Foundation now manages the castle, offering residency programs for artists while undertaking restoration work on the baroque architecture.

During World War II, the castle premises served as part of the Grafenort concentration camp system, where Jewish women were detained for labor purposes.
