About :
At the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries, the Pszczyna estates were ruled by the Dukes of Cieszyn. In 1548, the Pszczyna state changed owners once again - the Bishop of Wrocław, Baltazar Promnitz, became its owner. During the reign of the Promnitzs, this was a period of transformation of the Gothic defensive structure into a representative Renaissance residence. The next owners of Pszczyna (in the years 1765-1846) were the Dukes of Anhalt-Köthen-Pless. After the Anhalt Köthen-Pless princely line died out, the estates were taken over by Hans Heinrich X. In 1850, he received the title of Prince of Pless. After Hans Heinrich X, the Pszczyna and Książ estates were inherited by his eldest son, Duke Hans Heinrich XI (1833-1907). He also ruled the castle the longest (1855-1907). The current shape of the castle itself is associated with him. At that time, Pszczyna was visited by Prussian kings, German emperors, and Hans Heinrich XI himself held the position of Imperial Grand Huntsman at the Berlin court. After his death, Prince Hans Heinrich XV (1861-1938) took over the Pszczyna estates. His wife was an Englishwoman famous for her beauty, Mary Theresa Olivia Cornwallis-West, Princess of Pless, called Daisy (1873-1943). In the years 1914-1917, Pszczyna Castle played a significant role, being the Imperial Headquarters and headquarters of the German army. It was in Pszczyna that the emperor, the Chief of Staff, Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, and the Chief of Staff of the East, General Erich von Ludendorff, made military decisions. After the plebiscite in 1922, Pszczyna was incorporated into the reborn Polish State. In 1936, a necropolis was established in the park. It contains the graves of Daisy's youngest son - Count Bolko and Prince Hans Heinrich XV himself. The doors of Pszczyna Castle were opened to the public on May 9, 1946. It should be emphasized that approximately 80% of the original interior furnishings from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries have been preserved in the Museum. Pszczyna Castle is one of the few museums of this type in our part of Europe that have preserved their historical, rich furnishings. One of the most outstanding Baroque composers, Georg Philipp Telemann, was associated with Pszczyna Castle, and in the years 1704-1707 the court bandmaster and organist in Pszczyna. Today, music lovers listen to his music in the Mirror Hall of Pszczyna Castle.
