Driving directions:

Kłaczyna lies 8 km north-east of Bolków. If you enter Kłaczyna from the side of Roztoka, you ought to turn right in Kłaczyna to Sokola and then turn left into a side road. You must drive down that road around 300 m and turn right into the field road leading to the former PGR (state-owned farm). There on the square on the left side in thicket there is an island, and the ruins on it.


Historical outline:

Former name: Kauder

The castle in Kłaczyna did not wait any research thus knowledge on it is poor. Date of erection of the building nor its founder are unknown. It is assumed that the castle arose in the XIVth or at the beginning of the XVth cent. Already in the XVIth cent. it was demolished during Hussite wars, after which it was rebuilt as Renaissance residence. In the middle of the Thirty Years’ War the construction was destroyed again and this time its rebuilding was not undertaken.
