Sobótka-Górka Castle

Sobótka-Górka Castle is a palace with a two-story chapel built into its eastern section. Granite blocks and brick form the walls throughout the entire structure.

The structure began as an Augustinian chapel in the 12th century and underwent major changes between 1523 and 1553. These renovations transformed it from a purely religious building into a residential noble dwelling.

The entrance displays two granite lions from the 12th century that reflect the region's religious traditions. These sculptures show how the place connects to older sacred sites found across the surrounding landscape.

The location now operates as a hotel, allowing visitors to stay overnight in a historic building. Many original features remain visible throughout the structure, though some areas have been adapted for contemporary use.

An underground tunnel once connected the building to a nearby brewery for direct beer delivery to the palace. These passages are no longer accessible and remain hidden beneath the ground.
