Palace in Chróstnik, Baroque palace in Chróstnik, Poland

The palace features three-story central section with symmetrical side wings, crowned by stone balustrades and decorated terrace balconies.

Colonel Georg Karl von Haugwitz commissioned Swedish architect Martin Frantz to build this residence between 1723 and 1728 on medieval castle foundations.

The interior layout includes an eight-bay central hall with sail and cross vaults, reflecting sophisticated 18th-century aristocratic architectural preferences.

The palace underwent extensive renovation in 2009 under new ownership, receiving German slate tiles and gaining a 40-year-old tulip tree from Belgium.

In 1939, the palace served as a reserve headquarters for the National Railway Directorate of Wrocław before suffering fire damage in 1976.
