Palace in Korytów, Baroque palace in Korytów, Poland
The Palace in Korytów is a two-storey Baroque building on an elongated rectangular plan, covered by a hipped roof. Its facades are divided by pilaster strips supporting a flat cornice, and two semicircular portals with rusticated pilasters are topped by cornices with mascaroons and heraldic cartouches. Inside are two through-halls with preserved vaults.
A residence at Korytów is first mentioned in the 16th century; that building burned down in 1585. The present palace was built in 1711 for Anton von Hartig to a design by the Italian architect Jakob Carova. A residential wing was added in the early 19th century, the building was damaged in 1945, and it was entered in the monument register on 18 September 1981.
The palace takes its name from the village of Korytów, known in German as Koritau. At the park entrance stands a figure of the Bohemian patron saint John of Nepomuk, erected in 1726. Inside, a staircase in one of the passageways keeps remnants of stucco decoration.
