Kondratowice Palace

Kondratowice Palace has stood in this village in Strzelin County since the 17th century, although it owes much of its present appearance to a rebuilding at the end of the 19th century.

From the 17th century to the rebuilding

The estate in Kondratowice was taken over in 1651 by Mikołaj Henel of Prudnik. The palace itself was built in the 17th century, and underwent its most significant rebuilding in 1891.

Palace complex and farmstead

The palace is surrounded by an extensive complex with a 19th-century park and a kitchen garden. The farmstead includes an administrator's house from the end of the 17th century, rebuilt in the first half of the 19th century, a barn and workshops from the end of the 19th century, farm buildings from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, and two granaries - one from 1890, the other together with a cowshed, a brick wall and a bridge from 1880.

Heritage protection

The whole complex was entered in the heritage register on 31 May 2001, under number 52/A/01.

Nearby

Within a radius of a few kilometres of Kondratowice stand further Lower Silesian residences, for example the palace in Piotrkówek and the palace in Kietlin, and in Żelowice stands the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.
