The hunting palace in Żary survived World Wars 2. There was a dance hall, a Masonic lodge and an inn there. Today there is no trace of him

The Green Forest hides many secrets. Residents of Żary walking along the marked paths do not realize that there are remains of old buildings among the trees. Ruins of post-mining buildings, the castle of the knight Kuno, who plundered travelers in the Valley of Death, and the Promitz hunting lodge. The forest is slowly absorbing the remains of spectacular buildings.

One of the most interesting is undoubtedly the hunting palace of the Promnitz family, the former owners of Żary. The original building was erected on a hill in Zielony Las, 3 km south of the center of Żary, on the former postal route from Żary to Zgorzelec. The builder and founder was Erdmann II von Promnitz (1683 - 1745), a courtier of the Polish king and elector of Saxony, August II the Strong, who visited the castle and palace in Żary.

A palace in an iconic place in Żary
The choice of the place was not accidental, because about 100 m west of the palace hill there existed a stronghold and later a stronghold of the Lusatian culture 3,000 years ago, as evidenced by traces of ramparts and remains of pottery. In 1567, on a hill (Hunting Hill) there was a small wooden castle belonging to the Augustinian abbot Francis II (the so-called Francis Hermitage), which was probably built in a cult place with old pagan traditions.
