Gałów Palace complex, Castle in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

Gałów Palace (Pałac w Gałowie) is a ruined palace in Gałów, Gmina Miękinia, Lower Silesia. The present building dates from 1874 and was remodelled in the early 20th century; its facade still bears the coats of arms of the Roeder and Bonin families. The palace complex also includes a park laid out in the second half of the 19th century and two outbuildings, No. 59 D and No. 59 C.

The estate was documented in 1561 as the property of the Seydlitz family, and a view from 1780 records how the palace looked at that time. Frederick the Great stayed in the village in 1754 and again in 1787. The present palace dates from 1874 and was remodelled at the beginning of the 20th century; in 1998 an arson attack on the roof left it in ruins.

The coats of arms of the Roeder and Bonin families are still visible on the facade of the ruin; they commemorate the union of Albrecht Karl von Roeder and Elisabeth von Bonin. The palace complex also includes a park laid out in the second half of the 19th century, next to outbuildings from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The palace stands in Gałów, in the Miękinia municipality of the Średzki district, Lower Silesia. The main building has been a roofless ruin since the 1998 arson, so it can only be viewed from outside. The complex also takes in a park laid out in the second half of the 19th century and two outbuildings, No. 59 C and No. 59 D.

The coats of arms of the Roeder and Bonin families are still visible on the ruin's facade; they commemorate the union of Albrecht Karl von Roeder and Elisabeth von Bonin. The palace was rebuilt in 1874 and remodeled in the early 20th century. In 1998 an arson attack on the roof led to its complete destruction.
