History
_ID_628462.jpg)
Prudnik Castle was located in the defensive bend of the Prudnik river. It was built in 1255. It was founded a Czech knight Wok of Rosenberg.[1]
The castle was destroyed in 1428 by the Hussites. After the end of the first Silesian War, Frederick the Great rebuilt the castle.[2]
A fire on 27 August 1806 burnt the entire castle except of one tower called "Wok's Tower", which is now the only remnant of the castle.[2]
