Palace in Bełcz Wielki, Baroque palace in Bełcz Wielki, Poland

The palace in Bełcz Wielki is a two-storey building on a rectangular plan, covered by a four-sided mansard roof with dormers and a small tower with a copper helm at its centre. The front has a two-storey avant-corps topped by an oval pediment, with the main entrance below a stone-balustraded balcony supported by four Doric columns. Ground-floor alcoves with terrace balustrades flank the front, and a semicircular terrace with steps and a colonnade faces the park.

A Baroque palace stood here by 1787, when Count von Kalckreuth owned it; the Schönborn family followed, and Ludwig Adolph Theodor Dürr bought the estate in 1898. The German state took it over before World War II, likely because of the owner's debts. After 1945 it housed an agricultural school, then from the 1970s an institution for children with mental and behavioural disorders until 1997.

The village is Bełcz Wielki, known in German as Oderbeltsch, and the palace itself is called Schloss Oderbeltsch in German. After 1945 the building served as an agricultural school, and from the 1970s until 1997 it housed an educational centre for children with mental and behavioural disorders.

The palace is closed and secured while clearing and conservation work proceeds, so the interior cannot be visited; the park, cowshed and granary of the palace-farm complex can be seen from outside. The building stands in Bełcz Wielki, in the Góra district of Lower Silesia, within the Niechlów municipality.

A roof fire in 2016 caused severe damage to the building and triggered years of deterioration before being rescued. The intervention by new owners who purchased it in 2023 demonstrates how private investment can save endangered heritage structures.
