Dominating Otmuchów, which is often referred to as the flower capital of Opole province, is a Gothic-Renaissance castle with a history dating back to the 12th century.
Only the north-eastern wing has been preserved from the bishops of Wrocław’s old residence. The venue is renowned for its unique „horse stairs,” as well as such medieval remnants as the trapdoor, a dungeon, a well, and hidden secret rooms. Today the castle hosts the Castle Cultural Centre, which offers a wide range of leisure, travel and conference services. It is also worth seeing the garden on the castle hill, founded by the famous German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt.
