Facts and practical information

Ksiê¿a Góra - a peak in the Karkonosze Mountains, within the Karkonosze Foothills, at its eastern end, between Karpacz and Ścięgny.

Priest Mountain is built of Krkonoše granite.

Closed to the public, the summit of Ksiezyna Góra is occupied by Chateau, the residence of Barons Kurt and Agnes Pergler von Perglas, built in 1897. During World War II, the Chateau was the personal residence of Hermann Göring. After 1945, it was administered by the Ministry of Recovered Territories. In the 70s it was a place of recreation for those in power, among others Edward Gierek was here, hence the unofficial name "Gierkówka". In 2010 it became the property of the Lower Silesian Voivodship Office.
