Unfortunately, it's not accessible. The castle's dimensions can only be guessed at.

The palace in Wielka Lipa is an elegant residence located in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, near Oborniki Śląskie. It was built in the 18th century and for a long time belonged to the aristocratic von Waldenburg-Würben family. The building is distinguished by its classicist architecture and is surrounded by a beautiful landscape park, ideal for a walk or a rest during a bicycle trip around the area. Currently, the palace is restored and used as a private residence, so its interiors are not available to visitors. However, it is worth seeing it from the outside and feeling the atmosphere of the former aristocratic estate of Lower Silesia.

The town, located at a ford over the Katzbach on the road from Breslau to Glogau, dates back to the founding of the Liegnitz paladin Iko Mironowic in 1259. From around 1400, the town was owned by the von Zedlitz family for around 200 years. According to family tradition, Otto von Zedlitz had the previous wooden moated castle replaced by a stone building (the High House) around 1422, which, together with the tower and the northern wing of the building, forms the core of today's complex. From the 1540s, the castle was expanded into a palace. From 1562 Field Marshal Hans von Oppersdorff and Fabian von Schönaich were the owners. He had the east wing and the south gate expanded. After 1594 Parchwitz was a secondary residence of the Dukes of Legnica. In the Thirty Years' War the castle was severely damaged in 1642 and restored from 1658 under Duchess Anna Sophia von Liegnitz. After the line of dukes had ended, the castle fell to the emperor in 1675 and became the seat of a sovereign domain. After 1820 the castle was privately owned again. Count Erdmann Sylvius von Pückler had a landscape park created in 1835. In the possession of Count Kurt von Strachwitz, the castle was renovated from 1905. At the end of the Second World War the castle was damaged and later rebuilt. From 1990 the castle was privately owned and fell into disrepair. The castle was only restored after a change of ownership.

April 10, 2021, Piotrkowice Palace

A real gem of a palace, built in C16 on top of gothic cellars, originally Renaissance, it was remodelled into Baroque style around 1693. Its elaborate facade bears resemblance to the Lubiąż Abbey, an architectural masterpiece of the period. After WWII it served as a seat of a state-owned collective farm, a dairy and a school. Currently in private hands but up for sale, it is unfortunately slowly deteriorating and waiting for a true guardian.

April 10, 2021, Brzeźno Palace

Lovingly restored palace built probably by the von Kospoth family in 1850 on earlier fundations and rebuilt in 1913 by the then owner Arthur von Zastrow. Plundered by the Red Army at the end of WWII, during the communist times it hosted a state-owned collective farm (PGR in Polish). The current owners, who took it over in 1999, turned it into a boutique hotel and the surrounding park into a golf course. The prices are steep but larger groups (3-5 people) might find more affordable accomodation in The Pond House.
