 The Renaissance Castle in Gola has been erected on a stone escarpment in 1580 by Leonard von Rohnau – this is confirmed by the inscription over the main entrance "In the name of God Amen.On the 29th February 1580 Leonard von Rohnau started the construction and thanks to God covered it with a roof" – most probably on the site of a more ancient middle age construction.The middle age castle had a defensive character, as shown by the steep escarpment on the western side, the wet moat from the east, and the double stone walls surrounding the edifice.
