Palace in Stary Zamek

"Old Castle" is just a colloquial name. Architecturally, the building is a palace and it was originally designed as such. The palace was built in 1812 on the site of the "Red Court" and had features of the classicist style. The founder of the residence and the adjacent park was Adolf Friedrich IV von Waldow. In the 19th century, the palace belonged to representatives of the combined von Waldow and von Reitzenstein families. In 1865, Karl Friedrich Ernst Edward von Waldow und Reitzenstein transformed the estate into an ordination (majorate). His successor, after partial destruction in 1846, expanded the palace in the second half of the 19th century. In the 19th century, a new eastern part was added, adding a representative, monumental façade, which from then on housed the main entrance to the building. After World War II, the building was used as a school, then a sanatorium. Currently, this beautiful building is deteriorating, renovation works have been suspended.
