The oldest part of the castle is the East wing, erected after 1338. Originally, it was a stone and brick building on a rectangular plan measuring 35 x 13 m. Its corners were reinforced with slopes. From this period, a fragment of the gothic wall and vaulted cellars, built of Gothic brick in a block system, situated in the northern part of the current wing, have survived to present time. In 1542-1581 this building was demolished, and on its foundations and basements a late Renaissance two-story "palazzo" with two round towers in the corners from the east side was erected. Elevations were decorated with sandstone window frames and graffito. Originally, the building may have had an attic, which was probably replaced in 1608-1631 by two baroque peaks. In 1846, the graffito decoration was destroyed; it was recreated on the basis of preserved fragments in the years 1966-1976. At that time, the gothic and renaissance cellars and the Renaissance interior of the ground floor were reconstructed.
The southern wing is of baroque style and was built in 1608-1631. From the beginning it served as a representative wing with the main entrance.
The western wing - was built at the end of the 15th century as a small (8 x 11 m) rectangular building with deep basements, adjacent to the defensive walls. In 1608-1631, it was pulled down, and in its place a new Baroque wing was created. A round tower was erected in its north-west corner. In 1846, this wing was demolished, and on its foundations a building decorated with a stepped top was created. During the reconstruction of the castle in the years 1966-1976, the west wing received a 17th-century appearance.
The castle is surrounded by a landscape park with an area of 4.5 hectares, in its present form laid out in the second half of the 19th century . You can see the old tree stand and the ruins of the bunkers blown up in the air. At the entrance to the castle area there is a new, stylized residential and utility building and a gate. In the castle valley adjacent to the castle hill from the west, a castle mill was erected in the 18th century . The mill, currently electric, has survived to this day (the existing building dates from 1887).
The castle is located on the southern edge of the town of Tuczno on a steep hill located on the isthmus between the Castle Lake and Lake Tuczno. The construction of the castle was started in 1338 by Ludwik and Lamprecht von Wedel . It was a Gothic building, built on a trapezoidal plan with dimensions of 28 x 35 x 36 x 39 m, with a courtyard surrounded on three sides by a thick, brick perimeter wall with a height of 7 m and a residential part from the east. In the northern part of the walls there was an entrance gate. The castle was built from bricks and stones. In 1375 Emperor Charles IV...
The castle is located on the southern edge of the town of Tuczno on a steep hill located on the isthmus between the Castle Lake and Lake Tuczno. The construction of the castle was started in 1338 by Ludwik and Lamprecht von Wedel . It was a Gothic building, built on a trapezoidal plan with dimensions of 28 x 35 x 36 x 39 m, with a courtyard surrounded on three sides by a thick, brick perimeter wall with a height of 7 m and a residential part from the east. In the northern part of the walls there was an entrance gate. The castle was built from bricks and stones. In 1375 Emperor Charles IV named this castle as one of the 12 strongest castles east of the Oder. Around the 1400 the castle was surrounded on three sides by a moat with a width of 25 m (its fragment has been preserved from the southern side). In the fifteenth century the castle several times was besieged by the Teutonic Knights who finally took it in 1409. They hold it until 1411; and than took it again in 1436 and in 1458, when the castle was burned.
The new residential building was erected on the site in 1542-1581, which did not lose its defensive character. In the 17th century the castle eventually lost its defensive features. By the 1736, the residence fell into disrepair and became a ruin, but it was still used in the second half of the 18th century. In 1846, a new western wing was built, and the other two wings were renovated with minor changes. In 1903, the building abandoned again. In 1945 the castle was partially destroyed and in 1947, a partially used building was completely destroyed by the fire. The ruins were unblocked and secured in 1957; in the years 1959-1962 archaeological research was carried out, which revealed fragments of the Gothic castle. In the years 1966-1976 the castle was rebuilt. Most of the interiors, except the east wing, received a new form. Currently, the castle houses the Creative Work House of the Association of Polish Architects with a conference center, hotel and restaurant.
