Ciechów Palace

Ciechów Palace stands in the village of Ciechów in the Środa Śląska municipality, about 4 kilometres south-west of Środa Śląska, towards Bukówek. It is listed on the heritage register.

Construction and appearance

The palace was built in 1840, most likely for the von Kalkreuth family or for Heinrich Baum, and underwent major alterations in the third quarter of the 19th century. It is a neoclassical building on a rectangular plan, with a cellar, two storeys and a usable attic. The seven-bay façade has a central projecting section with an arched niche above the entrance.

Private property, under renovation

The building is now a private residence, surrounded by the buildings of a former farmstead: stables, cowsheds, barns and a granary. The owner's efforts to maintain the building are visible, a gradual renovation is under way, and the grounds are well kept. There is no confirmed information about public access to the interior, as it is private property.
