Książ Castle and park complex
Książ Castle is a large hilltop castle complex near Wałbrzych in Lower Silesia, Poland, occupying a wooded gorge above the Pełcznica river. Built from the late 13th century and rebuilt and expanded over centuries by successive owners (notably the von Hochberg family), the complex combines medieval masonry, Renaissance and later baroque palace wings and 19th–20th-century additions. It contains some 400 rooms and an extensive system of tunnels beneath the hill.

As it stood in 1910
The shape it held in its prime.
A sprawling hilltop complex of stone and dressed masonry set above a wooded gorge, dominated by a large square keep with a copper-green domed lantern and multiple towers: a left-side round tower with a red conical roof, several smaller green-copper capped turrets, and a long timber-framed roofline section. The eastern wing is a pale-pink baroque palace block with red tile roof and regular rows of windows. A multi-arched stone viaduct/terrace supports the castle on the cliff face, set within a park and Sudeten foothills.
