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 balcony of the castle ruins is freely accessible and offers a beautiful view of the castle pond with its water lilies. A truly idyllic spot!

In the rear part of the castle park, two old gateposts can be found, which would once have formed the entrance to the park. They are almost overlooked in the green woods.

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.

Kobyla Góra is the highest elevation in Wielkopolska (284 m above sea level), located in the Ostrzeszów Hills range. At its peak there is the Greater Poland Jubilee Cross, commemorative stones and the John Paul II Bell, which tolls daily at 3:00 p.m. This place serves an important pilgrimage and sightseeing function, offering distant views, including the Eastern Sudetes and the Opole Power Plant. Several hiking and cycling trails lead to the peak, including the Trans-Greater Poland Cycling Route.

A great tourist and recreational showcase of the region and an attractive place for lovers of outdoor recreation. A sandy, 300-meter beach allows for pleasant sunbathing. From the separate guarded bathing area there is a gentle descent to the water and children can safely splash around under the watchful eye of parents and lifeguards. During the holiday season, catering points and a water equipment rental (kayaks, water bikes) are open. For those who like to relax close to nature, staying overnight at a campsite - right by the beach - can be a great pleasure. Do you need activity? On the reservoir there are beach volleyball courts, football and basketball courts, two boules tracks, a rope playground for children with a sandbox and plenty of space for other beach games. There are also great conditions for sailing, windsurfing and fishing.
