Nestled in the historic and picturesque Kłodzko Valley, with excellent connections to Wrocław, Prague, Wałbrzych, and Nysa, this castle stands as a truly exceptional offering. Following its careful restoration and tasteful furnishing, this heritage site has been transformed into an immaculate boutique hotel (rated 9.8 on Booking.com), exuding charm and elegance that captivates every visitor.
While every historic property is undoubtedly unique, a closer look at Pischkowitz Castle (Pałac w Piszkowicach) reveals its outstanding features. Perched on a commanding hilltop, the castle offers stunning views of the Ścinawka River Valley to the north and the meadows and mountains to the south. Nearly every window frames the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding landscape.
The castle's archives meticulously document the estate's history, preserving details of its former owners and prominent guests, ensuring that the story of the castle is safeguarded for future generations.
The Garden
The terraced Baroque garden, with its Rococo garden pavilion, descends steeply toward the river, reminiscent of the magnificent gardens at Fürstenstein Castle (Zamek Książ). This striking design reflects the estate's distinguished status since the Renaissance.
The Layout
Since its Baroque renovation in 1722, the castle's layout has remained unchanged. The grand ballroom doubles as a corridor, leading to the symmetrically arranged bedrooms, the library, and the castle's archive. The two impressive enfilades through the ballroom remain open, preserving their historic grandeur. A servant staircase provides access to the second floor, which houses seven guest bedrooms and a spacious communal area.
The Grounds and Outbuildings
The manor's outbuildings have been structurally secured and await renovation according to the owner's vision. Additionally, there are two servant apartments in a former castle annex, as well as a plot with a greenhouse and arable/pasture land. The entire estate spans an area of 4.5 hectares.
Modernisation and Future Potential
Pischkowitz Castle is a gem of the former County of Glatz, carefully and expertly brought into the 21st century. It is a haven for enthusiasts and creative minds. Thanks to modern and contemporary installations, underfloor heating on the ground floor (ready for a heat pump), a thoughtfully designed layout of rooms and bathrooms, space for a lift, and a separate building with a viewing terrace, the property offers a range of possibilities for further business ventures.
It provides the perfect setting for refined living, working, and relaxation. UK prospects are welcome, we speak English!
