Nearest Airports to Brunow Palace:

The earliest records of the Brunow Palace are from the 15th century. Historians believe it was a defensive structure similar to the shape of residential towers in the area. At that time, it belonged to a well known and wealthy Silesian family called the Zedlitz family. From 1740-1750 the palace was owned by Earl Bernhard von Schmettau. He decided to rebuild the old mansion by changing the older buildings into a small two story baroque palace on a square. 37 years later it changed ownership to Krzysztof Henry and Ernest von Schweinitz. Three weeks after the purchase of the property a fire broke out and destroyed all of the buildings. On the ruins, von Schweinitz built a new baroque two story residence. Two Silesian architects were responsible for reconstruction: Mohrenberg and Scholtz. Later owners of the palace were the Cottenet family, who were responsible for the vigorous expansion of the palace in a typical nineteenth century style. During this period of time, the stable and carriage depot, fountain at the palace, and park were designed by Eduard Petzold. At the entrance of the stable you will find the Cottenet family coat of arms. Another major conversion was carried out from 1900-1901, founding the southern wing of the palace along with the orangery and an eighth tower. Immediately after WWII, the palace was left to degrade. The current owner, Edward Rzezwicki, purchased the palace in 2004. The entire Rzezwicki family was involved in the restoration. Their aim was the bring the palace back to its former glory.
