Historical outline:

Former name: Landeshut, Kreppelhof

Two castles existed in Kamienna Góra. The first of them was raised probably in the years of 1289-1292 on the initiative of the duke of Świdnica-Jawor, Bolko I. It was supposed to be erected on the hilltop above the town, presumably in the surroundings of the present cemetery, quarry and waterworks station.
The other castle, named Kreppelhof, built in the middle of the XVIth cent. probably by order of chancellor of the dukedom of Świdnica-Jawor, Hans Schoff. In a short time the castle was enlarged in 1588 by the family of Schaffgotsch. The subsequent reconstruction took place in 1872 on the initiative of the count Udo zu Stolzenberg-Wernigerode. Operations during the World War II did not damage the mansion, however, in 1964 the fire consumed it and since then it has remained in ruin.
