The Bishop's Palace in Ujazd is a former property of the bishops of Wrocław from the 13th century. Originally, the castle had the form of a quadrilateral tower surrounded by two moats and two ramparts. An administrator appointed by the bishop officiated in the tower, collecting taxes and ensuring safety. In the 13th century, a quadrilateral of walls forming a small courtyard was added to the tower. The castle remained in the possession of the bishops of Wrocław until the mid-15th century, when it passed into the rule of Bolko V, Duke of Opole. At the end of the 16th century, the object was rebuilt in the Renaissance style. In the 17th century, additional wings were added to the palace, giving the building an L-shape. The entire establishment acquired the features of a Baroque palace residence. In 1945, the palace was burned by the Red Army. Currently, on the castle remains, there is a wooden viewing platform from which the panorama of Ujazd extends, with benches, information boards, and stories about the object and photos from the times of the building's splendor. Practical information: Opening hours: The castle can be visited 24 hours a day. Entrance to the grounds of the facility is free. Parking directly adjacent to the facility (Strzelecka Street).
