A classicist palace from the early 19th century in the village of Mirosławice near Sobótka, today privately owned.
Mirosławice Palace stands in a village near Sobótka, at the foot of Mount Ślęża. It was built in the early 19th century for the von Zedlitz und Leipe family, and in the second half of the century the estate passed into the hands of the von Mutius family, who owned the village until 1945. The building is now privately owned and there is no entry for visitors - worth bearing in mind when planning a trip to the area.
The palace was built in the classicist style, and its façades are decorated with relief carvings depicting griffins. In the early 20th century the building underwent alterations that gave it its present shape. On a nearby farm building - formerly a cowshed, granary and stable in one - the coats of arms of two owning families survive: von Zedlitz and von Mutius, evidence of the change of owners in the estate's history.
The palace is part of a larger complex: it is surrounded by a park covering 2.5 hectares. The whole complex, palace and park, has been listed on the heritage register - the palace in 1964, the park in 1976. After the Second World War the estate was nationalised and handed over to a state farm (PGR), and information about the building's fate in recent years is not confirmed by the available sources.
Mirosławice lies in the Sobótka municipality, a few kilometres from the Mount Ślęża massif, in an area rich in other landed estates. Within a few kilometres stand, among others, Sobótka-Górka Palace and Rogów Sobócki Castle, and for those looking for a museum account of the region, the Stanisław Dunajewski Ślęża Museum in Sobótka is a good stop.
