Skała Palace, Renaissance palace in Skała, Poland.

Skała Palace is a ruined three-storey building of stone and brick on a horseshoe plan, with a four-sided roof over the central part. Its cellars have barrel vaults with lunettes, and in one room of the south wing a red sandstone pillar with cut corners supports the vault. The facades have symmetrical rectangular windows, quoins at the corners and cornices between the windows; the main entrance was on the east, preceded by a columned portico supporting a balcony.

A castle on the site, held by the Weidemann family in 1385 and Bernhard von Rechenberg from 1401 to 1406, was destroyed in 1427 during the Hussite wars. In 1513 Adam von Lest built a Renaissance manor here, seat of his family; around 1627 it passed to the counts of Promnitz, then in the first half of the 18th century to the counts of Roedern, who had it rebuilt. In 1798 it came to Peter von Biron, Duke of Courland and Sagan, and in 1845 to Konstantin von Hohenzollern-Hechingen, who lived here from 1850 until his death in 1869. After 1945 it served a state agricultural cooperative and fell into ruin.

The palace became a cultural centre under Prince Konstantin von Hohenzollern-Hechingen, who settled here after 1850 and kept a rich art collection. In the park stood a tea house clad in birch bark where he held weekly gatherings for guests from neighbouring estates, and a moss hut nearby. A gold-embroidered carpet in the palace was worked by Queen Luise as a gift marking the 1800 meeting at Skała.

The palace stands in Skała, in the Kaczawa Foothills of the Sudetes, within Lwówek Śląski commune. It is a ruin, so expect no interiors or visitor facilities; the grounds and the remains are what can be seen. The park was largely restored, while the palace itself is to be kept as a ruin.

The palace stands on an artificial escarpment on its eastern side, a feature noted as adding to its character. In the interwar period the palace was opened to the public, and visitors could see a gold-embroidered carpet worked by Queen Luise herself, a gift from her meeting at Skała in 1800.
