Ice cellar
Highlight • Monument
The Eiskeller Tower, also known as the "Icehouse", is a neo-Romanesque building built around 1880 in the castle park.
It served as a refrigerator at that time.
In his basement, ice forged from park ponds in winter was collected.
An efficient insulation system allowed for long-term storage of ice, which was transported to the castle's pantries, where it protected food against spoilage.
At the top of the Ice House there was a terrace for the orchestra, which made social life in the castle park more enjoyable.

Anhalt Necropolis
Highlight • Historical Site
Anhalts' graves in the Castle Park
In the northern part of the castle park of the Pszczyna Castle, near the ice cellar, an unusual necropolis of the Anhalt dukes of the Anhalt family ruling in the years 1765-1847 has found its place.
Prince Henry Anhalt himself, who lived in the years 1778-1847, was the initiator of establishing a family cemetery, and at the same time tidying up the graves of deceased parents and siblings.
The necropolis was built after 1808 in the form of a sandstone obelisk with an inscription in German meaning: "... you will rise again, ah, you will rise again, my dust, after a short rest".
The buried people are mentioned on the stone tombstones placed in front of him.
They rest here:
Prince Frederick Erdmann Anhalt (1731-1797),
wife of Prince Luiz Ferdinand Stolberg-Wernigerode (1744-1784)
and their children
Georg (1776-1777), Christiana (1774-1783) and Emanuel Ernst Erdmann (1768-1808).
On the opposite side, there is the tomb of Prince Louis Anhalt (1783-1841), covered with a thick tombstone with an iron cross, with arms crowned with lilies, entwined by a serpent, which is a message symbolizing the resurrection after death in a romantic convention. The serpent entwining the cross appeared to Moses as an image of Christ's passion and resurrection.

Castle in Pszczyna
Highlight • Castle
Castle in Pszczyna - former magnate residence in Pszczyna (German: Pless) in Upper Silesia, which was built on the site of a defensive Gothic castle from the beginning of the 15th century, probably built on the site of an earlier fortification. Then the castle was rebuilt in the 16th century in the renaissance style, and in the 18th century in the baroque style and again in the 19th century in the French baroque style from the times of Louis XIII. In the Middle Ages it was the property of, among others, the Opole-Racibórz dukes, the dukes of Opava and the dukes of Cieszyn. In the years 1548–1765 it belonged to the Silesian family of Promnitz, 1765–1847 to the princes Anhalt-Köthen-Pless, and from 1847 to the princes Hochberg von Pless from Książ. In the years 1870–1876, they rebuilt the castle, as a result of which it obtained its present architectural shape in the neo-baroque style.

Gate of the Chosen (Brama Wybrańców)
Highlight • Monument
Gate of the Chosen, built in 1687, is the oldest preserved part of the castle complex in its original form and served as the main entrance to the castle grounds. Constructed by builder Consilio Milius for castle owner Baltazar Promnitz, it replaced a 15th-century gatehouse with a drawbridge over the moat and housed quarters for castle guards.
The gate features a stone portal with coats of arms of the Promnitz family and a Latin inscription containing a chronostich that reveals the construction date.

All Saints Church
Highlight • Religious Site
All Saints Church in Pszczyna - a Roman Catholic church, the first mention of which dates back to 1326.
After the dangerous fire of the city in 1622, the temple was rebuilt by Jerzy Walentyn Meyer from Moravian Ostrava. In another fire in the city in 1748, the church building burned down almost completely. Reconstruction after the fire, completed in 1754, was conducted this time under the supervision of the Promnitz court architect, Christian Jähne. The new temple was erected using the walls of the old one. The church was renovated in 1791 (under the supervision of Gawron, a bricklayer master), and later rebuilt several times.
