The over 700-year-old Princely Castle in Niemodlinis the residence of the Opole and Niemodlin dukes. The Late Renaissance building with Baroque elements and Gothic relics was built on the site of a wooden castellany on the initiative of the Duke of Niemodlin, Bolesław, son of Duke Bolko of Opole. After World War II, the castle was the seat of the State Repatriation Office, a high school, and a non-commissioned officer school. Visiting the facility is possible with a guide, as part of organized groups. Particular attention in the castle should be paid to the chapel, supported by columns and decorated with plant motifs, with an underground crypt where members of the Praschma family – former owners of the castle – rest, as well as castle cellars with passages extending under the walls and towers, where one can view an armor exhibition and a collection of icons. Frescoes and taped windows on the first floor are elements of the scenography created for the film "Jasminum," which Jakub Kolski filmed in the castle. A unique attraction is the herd of fallow deer inhabiting the castle park.
