The castle in Toszek is one of the interesting castles in Upper Silesia, and its great value is its location and picturesque surroundings.
The history of defensive structures in Toszek probably dates back to the 10th – 11th centuries. In 1429, it was destroyed by the Hussites, and rebuilt and turned into his permanent residence by Przemysław Toszecki, prince from the Oświęcim line. After his death in 1484, the castle was owned by the Dukes of Opole until the death of John II the Good in 1532, and then, as a fief of Czech kings, it passed into the hands of the Habsburgs. Then, pledged to the Redern family, it was bought by them in 1592 and rebuilt in the Renaissance style. The Rederns not only repaired the damage caused by the fire of 1570, but also added living quarters in the gate part. The niece of Jerzy II Redern married Count Kasper Colonna, who later, as the owner, owed the Toszek castle another reconstruction. In the 18th century, the residence changed owners several times, first it was Baron Johann Dietrich von Peterswald, then Franciszek Karol Kotuliński, the Pasadowski family, and finally the family of the poet Joseph von Eichendorff. In 1797, the Eichendorfs sold the property to Count Franciszek Adam Gaschin. After the fire of 1811, the residence was no longer planned to be rebuilt; in 1840 the ruin was bought by Abraham Guradze. His family owned the castle until World War II. In the years 1957–1963 the castle was partially rebuilt.
