Only the tower, surrounded by a neglected park, survives from the von Richthofen family's palace in Bartoszówek.
Of the palace of the von Richthofen family in Bartoszówek, in the Strzegom municipality, only the tower surrounded by a neglected park survives today. It can be seen only from the outside, as it is private land.
The palace was built around 1730, and in the early 19th century it was extended with a tower and an east wing. The estate belonged to the von Richthofen family. After 1945 the building was abandoned and vandalised, and in the second half of the 1960s it was almost completely demolished, leaving only the tower.
Around the tower stretches a park laid out in 1830, today neglected, with an overgrown pond and a handful of old trees. The complex also includes an oak avenue on the route from Strzegom to Lusina, dating from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. The palace tower was listed on the heritage register on 14 May 1981, the park on 18 September 1981, and the oak avenue on 7 March 1991.
