Castle Hill Park, Cieszyn

A decision to rebuild Castle Hill was taken after the defensive stronghold constructed on it was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War.

There are only a few historical sources that inform us about development of the grounds around the castle and allocating them for green areas.

A development plan from 1836 indicates that at the upper castle there was a garden of irregular shape with a small square in the centre and four paths going outwards.

In 1914 in the north-west part of the hill artificial ruins were erected to emphasize the romantic nature of the park.

Among the trees which grow on in the park on Castle Hill, eight are monuments of nature.
