Palace in Szałsza, Nineteenth-century palace in Szałsza, Poland.
Description
The palace in Szałsza is a red brick manor from the 1800s featuring Tudor Gothic elements such as defensive towers and crenellations. The rectangular structure sits within a stone wall enclosure located behind the village's wooden church.
History
The structure was built in 1877 by Viktor von Groeling, replacing an earlier baroque building from 1781. The Groeling family held ownership until 1945, when control passed to new hands.
Culture
The palace shows how English architectural ideas influenced Silesian noble families during the 1800s. Visitors can see a blend of local building traditions and Western European style preferences expressed in brick and stone.
Practical
The building is privately owned and not open to visitors, so it can only be viewed from the outside. The best view comes from near the stone wall where the red brick facade and towers are clearly visible.
Did you know?
The outside of the palace keeps its original unplastered red brick surface, creating a strong contrast with the green park surroundings. This raw finish shows the sturdy English building style that Viktor von Groeling preferred.
