Chudów

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chudów is a small village in south Poland (Upper Silesia), near Katowice, famous for its 16th century castle built by the noble family of Gieraltowski. Ruined in 1875, reconstruction began in 2001.

In an already restored tower, there is a small museum that shows one of the most interesting exhibitions of medieval oven tiles in Poland, which were found at the castle during the excavations.

Every year in August "The Chudow Castle Fund", who is taking care after the monument, organizes one of the biggest and most interesting re-enactments of medieval tournaments in Poland.
