The castle, the seat of the lords and princes of Pszczyna, has undergone numerous transformations over the centuries, from a Gothic defensive building to a neo-baroque residence. His surroundings were changing even more dynamically. The buildings of the complex were built only to disappear during construction works, giving way to new buildings. Often thoroughly transformed, they changed not only their appearance, but also their functional function. In general, the castle complex acquired its current layout in the 1860s and 1870s.
The neo-Romanesque stables were built in 1865-1866 according to the design of Olivier Pavelt. Architecturally and stylistically, they are closely related to the neighboring carriage house building, built a year earlier. The main accent of the façade is the avant-corps with a Neo-Romanesque portal and a tondo with a horse's head located in a triangular pediment located on the axis. The interior of the stable is a neo-Gothic, three-nave hall covered with a cross-ribbed vault supported by cast iron columns. It houses 36 boxes in a two-bay arrangement, which was repeated on the residential first floor.
