Can you take photographs inside Moszna Castle?

The short answer: yes, the interiors may be photographed without flash. Commercial recording is by arrangement with the castle and carries a fee. Drones need insurance and licence documents shown at reception. The picture almost everyone actually wants is taken outside, from the park.

Inside

The rule the castle publishes is simple: photograph the interiors, but not with flash. That covers the chamber route through the guest waiting room, the former mirror room, the vestibule, the library, the gallery, the Count’s room, the Golden Suite and the chapel. Historic rooms are dark, and 45 to 60 minutes is not long, so a fast lens or a steady hand does more for you here than any accessory. Tripods are the kind of thing to ask about at reception rather than to assume.

Commercial work and drones

Commercial recording is arranged with the castle in advance and carries a fee, which covers anything filmed or photographed for sale rather than for your own use. Drone flights require insurance and licence documents to be shown at reception. Both are venue decisions, not ours, and both should be settled before you arrive rather than at the gate.

Outside, which is where the photograph is

Moszna’s reputation rests on its exterior: 99 turrets across a Baroque core, a neo-Gothic east wing from 1900 and a neo-Renaissance west wing from 1912 to 1914. The park gives you the distance to fit all of it in a frame, and the ponds give you the reflection. The park stays open until 18:30 from Friday to Sunday against 16:30 from Monday to Thursday, so the late-week evenings are the ones with usable low light. Why the roofline looks like that is explained on the 99 turrets page.

Insider tip

For the classic view, walk past the fountain and along the lime avenue and shoot back towards the building across the water. From the car park you only ever get the entrance front.

Season and light

Late spring puts the azaleas and rhododendrons in front of the building, which is the combination the castle is known for. Autumn gives colour from the oaks and horse-chestnut avenues and the emptiest paths of the year. Both are covered on the best time to visit.

A note on this site: the pictures on our pages are illustrative artwork, not documentary photographs of the building, and we label them that way rather than pass them off as the real view. Go and take your own.

Going with a guide

A private trip from a city gives you the drive, the timing and someone to explain what you are pointing the camera at. Live dates are below.

Frequently asked questions

Can you take pictures inside Moszna Castle?

Yes. The castle allows interior photography without flash. Commercial recording is a separate matter, arranged with the castle in advance and subject to a fee.

Are drones allowed at Moszna Castle?

Only with insurance and licence documents shown at reception. Settle that with the venue before you travel rather than on the day.

Where is the best place to photograph the castle?

From the park side, across the ponds, rather than from the car park. The lime avenue and the fountain are the landmarks to walk towards; the layout is described on what to see at Moszna Castle.
