Castle in Western Poland: Hotel concept and project plan available

The Castle in Osetno "Pałac w Osetnie" 

Formerly known as Schloss Osten,  the castle in Osetno is an old manor estate located in Lower Silesia (Western Poland), nestled within the triangle formed by Legnica, Wrocław and Leszno. The current three-winged structure with a clock tower, standing on a small hill, has its origins in the Renaissance period and was likely constructed around an earlier fortress. During the Baroque era, contemporary renovations and expansions were carried out. Towards the end of the 20th century, the south wing was redesigned in the Neoclassical style and expanded with a portico.

Key Features:

• A Mannerist portal from the early 17th century, inscribed with "Gotts Seegen Machet Reich Ohnn Mühe."
• The interior reflects various historical periods with Baroque and geometric stucco work, vaulted ceilings and a Historicist staircase with ornate steps.

The castle stood vacant for many years. Preliminary security measures were undertaken and a comprehensive project plan was developed. In 2015, the castle received a new roof.

The Proposed architectural and construction concept Includes:

• Conversion of the main building into apartments, a restaurant, a wine bar and a lounge.
• Construction of an additional new hotel building.
• Transformation of the outbuildings into apartments and the establishment of a pool and spa area.
• Construction of an underground conference center.
• Creation of a river dock, as the area is popular for kayaking.

• Plans and visualizations
• Area data

The property, including additional forest and meadow areas, spans 7.0687 hectares and is bounded by the Barycz River in the southern section, a tributary of the Oder.
The total net usable area is 14,286 square meters.


In the neighborhood: Palace "Pałac w Bełczu Wielkim"
In the neighboring village of Bełcz Wielki stands the manor Pałac w Bełczu Wielkim. Once featuring a magnificent, fully paneled, and well-preserved entrance hall, the condition of the building has deteriorated rapidly in recent years. A fire in the roof structure and the ensuing threat of loss drew public attention to the monument and eventually led to a change of ownership. Preparations for its reconstruction are currently underway.
