==History==
The village has a population of 350.
The history of the village dates back to the 13th century, when it was located on the border of [[Bohemia]] and [[Silesia]]. The castle, constructed in 1297, served as a stronghold for knights.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://m.kliczkow.com.pl/en/core/generic.php?_PageID=53478|title=Historia Zamek Kliczków - Zamek Kliczków Osiecznica|website=m.kliczkow.com.pl|accessdate=8 July 2017}}</ref> The remains of the former [[Middle Ages|medieval]] stronghold are still intact, most notably, a rectangular stone [[keep]] (tower) on the western side. The initial purpose of the castle was to defend the [[Duchy of Jawor|Duchy of Świdnica and Jawor]].<ref name="szlakzamkowipalacow.eu">{{cite web|url=http://szlakzamkowipalacow.eu/en/project/kliczkow-castle/|title=Kliczkow Castle - European Route of Castles and Palaces|website=szlakzamkowipalacow.eu|accessdate=8 July 2017}}</ref>
 
Subsequently, in the 14th century, the building changed its architectural character and purpose to serve as a manor house for wealthy nobles. Ruling aristocratic clans, like the German Rechenberg Family, greatly expanded the structure and adapted it to modern use. In the 19th century, the complex was restructured and redesigned once again. The palatial-styled [[fairy tale]] castle was located alongside a large, 80 hectare [[English garden]].<ref name="szlakzamkowipalacow.eu"/> Before 1945, the castle was in eastern Germany. After [[World War II]] it was confiscated by the Polish state as it became part of Poland.
 
In Kliczków, Prince Friedrich of Solms-Baruth was responsible for creating, beside the traditional family [[mausoleum]], a cemetery for his most beloved [[horses]] and pets. Nowadays, there are only two surviving tombstones from at least a dozen that once stood in the graveyard.<ref name="szlakzamkowipalacow.eu"/>
 
The overall [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] and [[Renaissance Revival architecture|Renaissance Revival]] style of the castle make it a unique architectural gem in the region.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.polskazdrona.pl/zamek-kliczkow-161.html|title=Zamek Kliczków z lotu ptaka nagrany z nowej perspektywy - Polskazdrona.pl|website=www.polskazdrona.pl|accessdate=8 July 2017}}</ref> The castle itself is a popular tourist spot in [[Lower Silesia]].
