Castles and Ruins
Jelenia Góra’s landscape is defined by its medieval fortifications and aristocratic estates. This collection features the 14th-century Chojnik Castle ruins perched atop a granite hill and the sprawling 18th-century Schaffgotsch Palace in Cieplice. Surviving defensive structures include the Wojanowska and Grodzka towers, while the Wieża Krzywoustego marks the site of a 12th-century stronghold.
