The Castle in Dąbrowa Niemodlińskais a former magnate estate, rising on a hill 184 m above sea level. Its establishment dates back to the beginning of the 14th century. The most recognizable architectural element of the building are the original, twisted chimneys. In the 17th century, the castle became the property of the Silesian family von Mettich-Tschetschau – the Renaissance wing of the castle with a tower comes from this period. At the end of the 19th century, the Hochberg family rebuilt the castle in the Neo-Renaissance style, and in this form, the body of the facility has been preserved to this day. In 1939, the castle served German soldiers as a transfer point. Uniforms were also sewn there, and in 1944 a sanitary point operated. In subsequent years, the castle was the seat of the Repatriation Office, the State Warehouse Center, and the Agricultural Advisory Center. In the 1970s, the facility became the property of the Higher Pedagogical School. By the facility, in a historic park with walking paths and boards on botanical and zoological themes, stands a 17th-century wooden figure of St. John of Nepomuk, and next to it – the Renaissance Church of St. Lawrence. The facility is the property of the University of Opole. Practical information: Parking spaces on Zamkowa Street. Throughout the year, you can enter the park free of charge, and in the summer season, the "Dąbrowa Treasures" Association organizes group tours of the facility. Details on the association's fan page.
