Old palace of Świerklaniec, Renaissance palace in Świerklaniec, Poland.
The palace complex featured substantial English gardens, stone sculptures, and a grand residence designed by architect Hector Lefuel near a lake.
Constructed in 1501, the palace underwent renovations under Carl Lazarus Henckel von Donnersmarck, transforming it from a Gothic fortress into a Renaissance structure.
The palace residence belonged to the Donnersmarck family, who maintained the estate until 1945 when it was taken over by communist authorities.
The remaining grounds contain the Cavalier Palace guest house, which remains intact and maintains public access for visitors interested in regional architecture.
Carbon Studio created a digital reconstruction of the palace using historical photographs, enabling virtual exploration of the building's original appearance.
