The history of Central European gardens is linked to people’s aspirations for tranquillity and optimal health. An exceptional example of this are the green areas in spas designed in the 18th and 19th centuries, with rich and functional furnishings complementing the design. We encourage you to subscribe to the quarterly “Herito” on the website of the International Cultural Centre in Krakow.

Over more than four centuries, the Sarny Castle has evolved from a modest Renaissance defensive manor house, to one of the most important residences in the Kłodzko County. Its purchase was even of interest to the Save Britain’s Heritage foundation, operating under the patronage of Charles, late Prince of Wales. Since 2013, the entire complex has been looked after by the Sarny Castle Trust, which is restoring it to its former glory. The lavishly illustrated guide takes an accessible look at the history of the building and its former owners. In addition, it contains detailed descriptions of the Castle, the Gate House, St. John of Nepomuk Chapel, the park and the Eduard Petzold European Centre for Garden Art.

The guide is available exclusively in Polish for purchase in the Sarny Castle Café and Restaurant.
