ABOUT LOCATION
The museum in Pszczyna is located at the place of a former fortified castle built in the the 11th or 12th century. Between
1870 and 1876 the residence in Pszczyna was converted according to designs of the French architect Aleksander Hipolit
Destailleur. Elevations of the two floor high castle on a quadrangle plan were changed according to the style of the
17th century French architecture. At the town side of the castle were built a vestibule with a three flight staircase,
monumental dining room with a table to seat 32 people, two large 19thcentury mirrors with a surface of 14 m2 each and the
Mirror Hall. Together with the historic landscape park in the English style (the area of 156 ha), it makes up a palace and park
complex. In 1946 it was converted into a museum – today under the name of the Castle Museum in Pszczyna.There are
permanent exhibitions in the Museum: 19th-20th century interiors, The Emperor’s Apartments, The Miniatures Room,
armoury.
