Palace in Piszkowice, Baroque palace in Piszkowice, Poland
Palace in Piszkowice is a baroque residence in Lower Silesia with ornate architectural design throughout its structure. The building serves as a private property today and offers guest accommodations within its historic walls.
A knight's seat stood here in 1340 and was destroyed during the Hussite invasion of 1428. The present palace was built at the end of the 17th century on the site of a Renaissance manor, probably reusing its remains, and was rebuilt in 1722. After 1945 it housed a primary school; the commune sold it to a private owner in 1998, and in 2015 Martin Schoenberg bought it and began renovating it for agritourism.
The building displays characteristic baroque ornamental details across its facades and interior spaces. These design elements shape how the place feels when you move through it and observe the craftsmanship of its rooms.
The palace stands in Piszkowice, in the Kłodzko district of Lower Silesia. Its baroque exterior and the surrounding landscape park with terraces and retaining walls can be seen from nearby roads and paths. The building is privately owned and being converted for agritourism, so interior access requires prior arrangement with the owner.
The palace was sold in 1998 and then left unsecured, falling into ruin. From 2013 to 2015 it became the subject of a social campaign initiated by Łukasz Przybylak, author of the restoration of the palace garden in nearby Kamieniec and of Sarny Castle.
