Tworków Palace, Renaissance palace ruins in Tworków, Poland.
The palace complex features a quadrangular tower, eastern wing, and surrounding arcade-lined courtyard set within an English-style park near fish ponds.
Built in 1567 by Kasper Wiskota von Wodnik on medieval foundations, the palace underwent significant reconstruction in 1872 by the Saurma-Jeltsch family in Neo-Renaissance style.
The palace ruins now form part of the Silesianka Trail, connecting 34 observation towers and viewing platforms across the Silesia Euroregion border area.
The palace grounds remain open from March through October with free admission, offering visitors access to both the former carriage house and the observation tower.
The structure met a dramatic end in 1931 when a fire destroyed most of the building, with flames reportedly visible within a 60-kilometer radius.
