Medieval Ducal Castle in Sulechów

The original wooden castle in Sulechów was built by Duke Konrad III Głogowski in 1304. In 1395 a plenipotentiary of the Brandenburg margraves was already staying at the castle. At the end of the 14th century, a brick fortress was erected on the site of the earlier building. At the beginning of the 16th century Sulechów was part of Brandenburg and since 1598 it was used as a temporary residence of margraves. In 1633, the castle along with the town was destroyed by fire, but later rebuilt, surrounded by a rampart and moats, and a wall on one side.

In the 19th century the castle was rebuilt. During this period, the unknown eastern and northern wings were demolished. The tower and walls of the west wing remained from the medieval castle, and both preserved parts are made of brick. The square Gothic tower has four storeys and a tent roof. Adjacent to it from the south, the baroque building is set on a rectangle, one-storey covered with a gable roof. A former 19th Calvinist church is adjacent to the fortress. After the Second World War, offices of local authorities were located in the castle. Currently, the renovated castle is used for cultural purposes.

Sulechów is located 17 km north of Zielona Góra on road no. 3 to Świebodzin. The castle is located in the town center.
