A Baroque palace from the 18th century, built from the rebuilding of a Renaissance manor, with a surviving Renaissance heraldic portal, in the village of Kietlin.
Kietlin Palace is a historic palace complex in the village of Kietlin in Dzierżoniów County, built in the 18th century from the rebuilding of a Renaissance manor from the 17th century.
In the 17th century the owner of the manor on this site was von Lohenstein, mayor of Niemcza and father of the writer Daniel Casper von Lohenstein. In the 18th century the manor was rebuilt as a Baroque palace.
The palace is part of a complex that also includes a park. Above the Renaissance portal, the coat of arms of Duke George II of Brzeg has survived, and on the facade there is a panel with the coats of arms of the von Gellhorn, von Zedlitz, von Hochberg and von Tschirschky families, along with a medallion with a laudatory inscription in honour of the von Goldfuss family.
The palace has been entered into the heritage register, with the park covered by a separate entry.
Within a few kilometres of Kietlin lie other Lower Silesian residences, including Piotrkówek Palace and Łagiewniki Palace.
