Ligota Palace

Ligota Palace stands in the village of Ligota in the Góra municipality, in Góra County. It is a 19th-century residence built in the historicist style with neo-Gothic elements, today badly damaged and inaccessible to visitors.

History of the building

The palace was built in 1869 for the marriage of Konrad von Roeder and Bertha von Bussche-Ippenburg. The complex also included a landscape park and a farm building known as the coachman's house, built in 1872.

Appearance and architectural detail

The building is two-storey, kept in the historicist style with neo-Gothic features. Above one of the ground-floor windows there is a heraldic cartouche supported by four columns in the Doric order, bearing the coats of arms of the original owners.

Current condition

The palace is in poor technical condition. Two residential units have survived in it, while the rest of the building lacks floors, the staircase to the upper floor has been torn out and the installations have been stripped from the walls. The building no longer serves any public function, has no exhibition or visitor reception point, and entry to the interior is not possible.

Conservation protection

The palace, together with the complex, is entered in the heritage register under number A/3614/1122, dated 27 April 1988.
