Kompleks zamkowo-pałacowy w Żarach, Castle and palace complex in Żary, Poland
The complex includes a medieval castle and a later palace, featuring Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements with remaining fortification walls and towers.
The original stone castle was constructed in the 13th century by Albrecht Dewin, and the Biberstein family expanded it significantly during the 14th century.
The complex serves as a regional cultural center, hosting exhibitions and events that showcase the rich heritage of Lower Silesia.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds, gardens, and defensive structures throughout the year, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
