Ruins of the former ducal (Piast) castle with a preserved tower, surrounded by a historic landscape park (Renard Park).
The ruins are located in Strzelce Opolskie (Strzelce County), on the edge of the extensive, historic Renard Park.
The first mention comes from the document Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis of 1305 (Castrum Strelecense). The masonry castle was built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries on the site of a wooden structure. At the beginning of the 14th century the town became the capital of an independent duchy. The ruin was rebuilt between 1562 and 1596. The castle was burned down in 1945 by Soviet troops.
The walls and castle gate visible from the town side, and the revitalized tower from the side of Renard Park.
For lovers of the history of Upper Silesia and walks in a historic park.
The surroundings (the park) are accessible; the interior of the ruins is not accessible.
