Palace in Czarny Las, Neoclassical palace in Czarny Las, Poland.

The Palace in Czarny Las is a brick, plastered two-storey building on a rectangular plan, with a usable attic under a hipped tile roof with dormers. Its eleven-axis facade has a central three-axis avant-corps with a columned porch carrying a balcony, topped by a pilastered gable with volute scrolls. Inside, a two-bay layout centres on a hall with the staircase.

Ferdinand Ziegler, a merchant from Wrocław, bought the Helenenthal estate before 1886 and had the residence built around the turn of the 20th century. In 1902 G. Hoffmeister was recorded as owner, and by 1905 the property was back with Ziegler until at least 1912. Before 1917 Kazimierz Niegolewski acquired it and had it rebuilt by architect Roger Sławski.

The village's coat of arms shows part of the palace. In 1920 Wiktoria Niegolewska opened a private Polish school for 40 local children in the building, then the only Polish school in Upper Silesia; it survived German pressure until the area joined Poland after the plebiscite. She later ran a hospital for insurgents here during the Third Silesian Uprising.

The palace now operates as a four-star hotel, so non-guests should check with reception before touring the interiors. The complex stands in Czarny Las, Lubliniec County, surrounded by a maintained park with ponds; a newer building beside the residence holds a hunting-lodge-style apartment. The former estate was reduced to 29.65 ha in 1938, so the grounds are compact.

The palace appears in the coat of arms of Czarny Las, a detail easy to miss when arriving at the building itself. The residence was bought in 1988 by the Era cooperative from Chorzów, which ran a rehabilitation and holiday centre called "Dworek" here before a general renovation in 1999 turned it into a four-star hotel opened in 2003.
