Szałsza is a small village located north of Gliwice, on the road to Tarnowskie Góry. And there is a palace that impresses with its beauty and has an extraordinary history.

The first palace in Szałsza was built in the second half of the 18th century. Its baroque building was built for Anna von Winter. In the 1930s, Szałsza and the neighboring Żerniki were bought by Antonia von Groeling.

The Groeling family came from the Duchy of Anhalt and enjoyed nobility for a short time, from 1768. In Upper Silesia, they owned the estates of Pniów, Rudziniec, Zacharzowice and Ligota. In Szałsza they signed up as good hosts. A permanent trace of the Groelings is the palace, located right next to the historic church.

The representative building gained its final shape in the 1870s, during the times of Wiktor von Groeling. It is a two-story palace, built of intensely red brick, on a rectangular plan. Stylistically it refers to the English Tudor Gothic. The decorative turrets, projections and the battlement crowning the building attract attention.

Currently, the building is privately owned and has been beautifully restored. The palace is surrounded by a nice park with many trees - natural monuments. At the wooden church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, there is a tombstone with the names of the Groelings and their coat of arms. There is also a stone cross, funded at the end of the 19th century by one of the family members.
