Kliczków Castle stands at the edge of the Lower Silesian Forests, near Osiecznica and about 15 km north-west of Bolesławiec. Its beginnings are traced to the end of the 13th century, when Duke Bolko I the Strict of the Świdnica-Jawór duchy established a border stronghold on the site. Over the following centuries the castle lost its original defensive character, passing through several noble families — among them the von Rechenberg and von Schellendorf families — who reshaped it into a residence rather than a fortress.
The buildings visitors see today, arranged around two courtyards, reflect this long residential rebuilding: a mix of neo-Renaissance and neo-Gothic work layered over the medieval core. The castle now operates as a hotel and spa, with around 88 rooms and apartments spanning Double or Twin Rooms, Studios, Superior and Premium Apartments, and Family Rooms — though an older listing gave a different breakdown, so this figure is best read as an approximate current count rather than a fixed total.
The parkland around the castle has been developed into a resort-style setting, with a Thalgo spa, an indoor pool, sauna and fitness room, tennis courts and a riding school, alongside a restaurant spread across three halls — amenities that make a stay here closer to a countryside resort than a quiet overnight in a historic building alone.
