Discover Żmigród

If you are looking for a hotel in Żmigród, you can start by considering the destination in light of your own interests. The castle and park complex, the historic town layout and other local features each offer a different perspective. The complex combines surviving buildings with a restored historic park; the town centre, in turn, can be described by its approximately oval shape, market square and former town gates. These features give you an impression of different sides of the town. Use them as a starting point when deciding whether Żmigród suits the purpose of your trip; afterwards, compare specific hotel options according to the criteria that matter to you.

Castle and park complex

The castle and park complex includes surviving castle ruins and a historic Baszta. The complex also encompasses a restored historic park covering more than 14 ha. The grounds include numerous paths and benches, ponds and a children’s playground. This brings historic buildings and park design together as different perspectives on the same complex. The area of more than 14 ha describes the size of the park, while its individual features make its design tangible. The grounds therefore offer both an architectural and a landscape-oriented point of reference for planning your trip. When weighing these themes in Żmigród, consider whether the ruins and the Baszta or the park grounds are more likely to shape your stay.

Town layout and water tower

A medieval town layout with an approximately oval shape has been preserved in the centre of Żmigród. It includes a rectangular market square and streets leading to the sites where town gates stood until 1819. The approximately oval overall shape and the rectangular square show two different geometric aspects of the town layout. The water tower adds a single building to this historic picture: it was built in 1906, stands at the highest point in the town and is considered one of its landmarks. Compared with the medieval layout, its construction date points to a later period. These offer two different perspectives for finding your bearings in Żmigród: the structure of the town centre and a single landmark whose date is known.

“Baszta” Tourist Information

The “Baszta” Tourist Information office is located in a historic Baszta on the grounds of the castle and park complex. It houses a tourist information centre with information materials about the region, promotional items and publications. Its location combines the information services with a historic building within the complex, adding a regional connection to the impressions of the park and ruins. If you plan to visit the tourist information office, check the current opening hours before you go.

Dragon figures in Żmigród

Four dragon figures were created in Żmigród: Rowerzysta, Przyrodnik, Podróżnik and Urzędnik. Their names make the collection of figures more concrete and introduce a different theme to the town’s description than architecture or history. When exploring Żmigród, you can therefore consider these figures as a point of interest in their own right, alongside the historic centre and the castle and park complex. If they catch your interest, they may provide another reason to consider Żmigród as a travel destination.
