The Protestant castle church was built by the von Reichenbach family in 1742. The church has been unused since 1945, and as a result, valuable objects from the church have likely gone missing. The church building is currently being restored for use again.

The castle in Goszcz was once considered one of the most beautiful Baroque castles in Silesia. The current building dates back to 1755. In December 1947, the castle burned down and has been a ruin ever since. Some parts of the side wings have been restored; one now houses a café. The ruins of the main building are completely secured and can be explored from the inside. There is even a metal staircase leading to the top, from where you have an even better view of the ruins. Large-format photographs depicting the castle's former interior are displayed on the ground. All in all, a very worthwhile place to visit!

The von Reichenbach Palace (ruins), the first palace in Goszcz, was built between 1730 and 1740 on the site of a 12th-century castle. However, it was destroyed by a massive fire in 1749. Between 1749 and 1755, a new palace was built, designed by the Silesian Baroque architect Karl Martin Frantz. The entire manor-palace complex was grouped around a rectangular courtyard, the main axis of which was the palace building. Three entrance gates led to it. Until January 1945, the building belonged to the Reichenbach family, then it was occupied by Soviet troops and subsequently placed under the management of the local administration. On Christmas Eve 1947, a fire broke out in the palace. Despite the efforts of the fire brigade, the palace burned to the ground and was never rebuilt. In 2013, the Twardogóra commune authorities renovated some of the buildings on the western side of the complex, outbuilding I, palace servants' house I and the building connecting them.
