History and setting
The village of Dobra dates to the 13th and 14th centuries and lay on an old trade route from Wrocław through Syców and Kalisz to Toruń. On April 14, 1631, Duke Karl Friedrich Podiebrad of Ziębice and Oleśnica laid the foundation stone. The castle was finished on September 29, 1632, and the settlement was renamed Carlsburg after its founder. A tall defensive tower was added in 1633. The building stands on the wet ground of the river Dobra and is surrounded today by a park with a green setting that suits outdoor weddings.
