- palace (castle) At the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries, a defensive manor house was erected on the Piotrówka River (nowadays sometimes called a castle and sometimes a palace), surrounded by a pond and a marshy meadow. After numerous reconstructions, the manor has lost its defensive features, and it is difficult to recreate its original shape. The palace is now the seat of the Municipal Cultural Center (ul. Janusza 21, http://www.gok.zebrzydowice.pl, tel. 32 4693334).
