Grodno Castle is a castle located in the southern parts of the Wałbrzych Mountains, on the Choina Mountain, standing to the left of the river Bystrzyca.

Beautiful nice castle, miraculously preserved and continuously renovated. There's a short climb from the main street to the gate but nothing challenging. There's a big restaurant and souvenir shop up front, and ticket stand near the entry to the historical part.

I'd definitely recommend stopping by and...

The castle is a total disappointment on the inside. A dusty DIY medieval horror show with little value. The 10 minute nature film at the end is cute but totally off-place.

Lovely castle that you can visit at your own pace with an audioguide. The information provided is interesting but an option to learn more of the details was not provided.

When visiting, take into account a 10min uphill hike on medium rough terrain. If you have mobility issues you can drive up to the castle, but inside it will be difficult to visit. Also dogs are not allowed.
If you are in the neighbourhood, give this lovely...
