Krzyżowa Palace

Krzyżowa Palace, Neo-Baroque palace in Krzyżowa, Poland.

Krzyżowa Palace is a two-storey Neo-Baroque building on a rectangular plan, built 1712–1726 and remodeled 1868–1869 by Berlin architect Gödeking. Its eleven-axis facade has a four-axis pseudo-avant-corps, a mansard roof with dormers, and a main portal flanked by two Ionic columns. The portal's cartouche shows the coats of arms of Helmuth Karl von Moltke and Mary von Burt.

The palace served as a meeting place for the Kreisau Circle during World War II, a group of Germans who opposed Nazi policies and worked toward resistance. The site hosted their activities until the war's end in 1945.

The palace operates as an International Youth Meeting Centre where young people from different countries gather for educational programs and cultural exchange. Visitors experience a space dedicated to fostering understanding between communities.

The palace stands in Krzyżowa, about 10 km southeast of Świdnica and 50 km from Wrocław. The International Youth Meeting Centre opened in the restored estate in spring 1998 and provides conference rooms, guest accommodation and dining for visitors.

The main entrance portal carries two Ionic columns supporting a pediment with a cartouche of the coats of arms of Helmuth Karl von Moltke and Mary von Burt, born 1825. Inside, the staircase walls show murals of Prussian history, including the 1806 looting of Lübeck by Napoleon's army and the 1871 entry of German troops into Paris.
