Palace in Pęgów, Palast in Polen
The Palace in Pęgów is a brick building in Gothic style with a rectangular shape and a tower at one corner. The roof has steep slopes with dormer windows and gables topped with decorative finials, while original ornamental details remain visible in some interior rooms.
The building was constructed in 1907 by builder Vater from Prusice for landowner Caesar Sachs, representing the early 20th-century Gothic revival style. After World War II it changed hands several times and was later used as a farm before eventually standing vacant.
The palace once served as the centerpiece of an estate and symbol of its owners' wealth and social standing. Today, visitors can read from the remaining interior decorations and the building itself what importance this place held in the region's social life.
The property is surrounded by a fence with warning signs indicating private ownership, so visitors can only view the building from outside. A walk through the surrounding landscape park with mature trees still offers a good sense of the estate and its scale.
The corner tower features small projections called machicolations that give the residential building a fortified appearance. This blend of defensive design with domestic comfort shows how early 20th-century Gothic revival architecture merged medieval aesthetics with contemporary living standards.
