Topacz Castle & Art SPA
Topacz Castle is a refined resort nestled in a place rich with history and cultural heritage. The estate combines meticulously preserved historic architecture with the comfort and amenities of a modern, high-standard venue.
The natural surroundings of Topacz Castle reach far beyond the gardens adjoining the hotel. The resort is situated within a 50-hectare Historic Park, crossed by two rivers and home to a rich variety of wildlife. As you explore the grounds, you may come across numerous bird species, specially designed aviaries where red squirrels are rehabilitated, and even a swan house located on the island. All of this can be enjoyed during a leisurely walk or a boat ride as a moment of relaxation after a demanding day of lectures.
The hotel grounds also offer something special for enthusiasts of historic vehicles. The Motorization Museum’s collection features models dating back to the interwar period.
A prime location in the village of Sleza and convenient access are among the key advantages of Topacz Castle. The estate is a 20-minutes’ drive from both Wroclaw’s city center and Copernicus International Airport, with the A4 motorway located only 2 km away. If you are travelling by plane, the most convenient way to reach the hotel is just by taking a taxi from the airport.
