Pałac Ruina

Trashy place with lots of excrements... ugly unmaintained place!

Remains of the palace ... Nice place and a building that delighted in its heyday. You can see that he was sentenced to natural death. Nobody will even take care of removing branches that fell on the gable wall of the building. As the building conservators say: "Primum non nocere".

The ruins of Ostroszowice are the remains of a palace from the 18th century, erected on the site of an older, defensive complex. The first major reconstruction took place in the 19th century, another in the 20th century. The layout was built on a plan similar to a square, it was made of brick and it had a small courtyard. There was a circular turret in the western corner. The palace was two-bay and had three floors Most likely, the residence was designed and supervised by the architect Ferdinand Martius from Kamieniec Ząbkowicki. In 1943, the owner of the majorate, Count Heinrich Leopold von Seher-Toß, still lived in the palace. However, at the end of World War II, the palace was confiscated by the German military authorities and intended for the seat of the Intelligence School After the school was moved to Bavaria, the abandoned palace was partially plundered. However, even after 1945, there were games and a cinema. Unfortunately, in May 1957 or 1958, during the Fireman's Day, the then commander of the Volunteer Fire Department, wanting to show the efficiency of his subordinates, ordered some sheds near the palace to be set on fire, but unfortunately the fire moved to the palace, and the firefighters did not have enough strength to control the element. After all, it was "German" and yours, so nobody cared about it. Over the next years, the palace, unused and neglected, was subject to destruction. Currently, the ruins of the palace are private property, but the owner probably has no idea for this object.

Interesting object, although badly damaged. Before or during your visit, it is worth seeing old photos that show its charm in its heyday.
