Pałac w Kłodzie Górowskiej

The place is deserted, well protected against vandals. The palace looks lovely in a pond reflecting it :)

Nice but well protected. It's hard to get in

Nice exterior. Difficult access to the inside.

Palace object tightly secured, sheets of windows, bars and padlocks as if to hide gold and not a relic of the past, which no one can take care of. All buildings around are also tightly secured with bars, chains and padlocks. In the park the chapel is also not to the entrance is a pity. Externally interesting area, but the lack of entry for visitors and fans of urbex exploration is a pity. Exploration of the whole, although the lengthy area is 20 minutes - "average to recommend"

The first palace was built in the 17th century by the von Luck family on the site of an earlier building, about which little is known. Jan von Luck came into possession of these lands through a marriage with Anna, his second wife. He was a famous person in the area because in 1588 he became the starost. After Jan and Anna died, the property was taken over by their eldest son Johannes, who later became a district judge. The von Luck family ceased to manage these lands around 1714. From 1820 the owners of the property were: Carl von Schönitz, and from 1869 his daughter Elise von Gossler with her husband Eugen von Gossler, who rebuilt / built the current building. Also von Gossler enjoyed universal trust as he was elected starost and held this office until his death, on October 3, 1892. He was buried in the palace park where his tombstone has been preserved. The present palace building was erected in place of the former manor house at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries (some sources say that in 1870, and its further expansion took place in 1889). Finally, it was given the shape of a varied block with a three-story, four-sided tower. On the south side, a large pond adjoins the palace, through which a stone bridge with the coats of arms of the last owners: Alfred von Gossler and Elizabeth von Mauve, placed on the outer side of the balustrade. The park is covered with a centuries-old tree stand, including plane trees, linden trees and oaks. On its premises, you can find an architectural rarity - the chapel was built in 1892 at the request of Elizabeth von Gossler, with commemorative plaques and tombstones of the former owners next to it. This property has survived to this day in a relatively good condition, because for some time it housed the offices of the State Farm, which carried out the necessary renovations in the building. There are, of course, legends associated with this place "On a cloudless night, when the full moon does not enter the palace area," warn the oldest inhabitants of the village. You can come across an apparition of a woman who once committed suicide there ... The apparition that appears is the despairing widow, the former owner of the palace, Anna von Luck. Her marriage with Jan was exceptionally successful, and the spouses lived within the palace walls in happiness and prosperity. Until ... After her husband died prematurely in 1600, the woman broke down. She withdrew from everyday life. She locked herself in the room and did not leave it, and ordered the windows to be tightly closed. She had neglected herself and her family. Soon even her own children left her. Unable to establish contact with their mother, who had forgotten about their existence, they left for relatives. The estate began to decline. The service was no longer needed, and the most faithful who remained were afraid to enter it. It was quietly counted that according to the saying "time heals all wounds" - after a long time everything will return to normal. Hopes turned out to be in vain ... On the anniversary of my husband's death, the family came to the almost abandoned palace, and the woman left the dark, musty room for the first time and walked through the run-down palace interiors. From the closet she pulled out a long black dress, special for mourning. As was expected, she was to go to a mass for the deceased with the guests. However, under the pretext of overseeing the supper and malaise, the woman refused to participate in the funeral service, staying in the palace. Mourners returning from the ceremony saw her standing on the palace balcony with a dagger in her hand. She waited for the bells of St. Catherine in Góra. When they struck the last sound, she raised the dagger and with the words: "goodbye forever" stuck it in her heart, falling into the water surrounding the palace. The approaching uncle was seconds late ... Since then, the figure of a woman dressed in black appears at night to gaze at the moon, dream of salvation and meet her deceased husband. The anniversaries of my husband's death are special. Then he stands on the balcony with a dagger and woe to those who would venture into the palace area then ... Chapel from 1892 built of red brick. Above the entrance there is the coat of arms of the von Gossler family.
