Tworków Palace, Renaissance palace ruins in Tworków, Poland.
Description
Tworków Palace is a ruined complex with a quadrangular tower, eastern wing, and arcade-lined courtyard set within an English-style park. The grounds include fish ponds and retain the basic structure of Renaissance Revival architecture.
History
The palace was built in 1567 on medieval foundations by Kasper Wiskota von Wodnik and later reconstructed in 1872 by the Saurma-Jeltsch family in Neo-Renaissance style. A fire in 1931 destroyed much of the structure and left it in ruins.
Culture
The ruins are now part of the Silesianka Trail, a route connecting observation towers across the Silesia Euroregion. Visitors can explore what remains and sense how the estate once mattered to the local landscape.
Practical
The grounds are open to visitors from March through October with free admission to the ruins and former carriage house. An observation tower on site provides views over the surrounding park and fish ponds.
Did you know?
A devastating fire in 1931 was so intense that it was reportedly visible from a distance of 60 kilometers away. This event marked the end of the estate's prominent period and led to its current ruined state.
