Ruins of a 19th-century Neo-Renaissance palace of the Kramsta family in Chwalimierz, in the Środa Śląska municipality.
Chwalimierz Palace is a 19th-century residence in the village of Chwalimierz, in the Środa Śląska municipality. Only ruins remain of the former estate today.
The palace was built between 1884 and 1885 for Georg von Kramsta, to a design attributed to the Wrocław architect Carl Schmidt. The building represented the Neo-Renaissance style.
The palace was devastated after the Second World War. As late as the early 1960s it was still in decent condition, but the main building was later demolished. Today only ruins survive in the park: a tower bearing the Kramsta family coat of arms, a terrace and a gloriette.
The palace estate included a 19th-century stable, a park merging into forest, and farm buildings: a manager's house, a forge, barns and granaries. Fragments of the boundary walls, cobblestones and moat have also survived.
