Ksiaz - a historic castle in the castle complex, located in the Ksiaz district of Walbrzych in the Walbrzych Foothills.According to legends relating to the history of the Piast dynasty at Ksiaz Castle, the first stronghold was built here in the mid-10th century by a knight named Funkenstein. While still a young boy in 933, he was said to have given the Duke of Saxony, Henry I the Birdman, a bag of coal dug in the forest. The situation pleased the ruler so much that he was rewarded with a knighthood and the nickname of One Who Brings Stones That Give Sparks. He also ordered him to return to Silesia, find a convenient place and build a defensive stronghold nearby to guard the black treasure from then on.
