Pęgów Palace

Pęgów Palace is a neo-Gothic residence from the early 20th century, standing in the village of Pęgów in the Oborniki Śląskie municipality. It is a private building, seen today only from the outside.

History of the building

The palace was built in 1907 in the neo-Gothic style. It was erected by master builder Vater of Prusice for the estate's then owner, Caesar Sachs. The building has been listed on the heritage register under number A/3924/606/W since 11 June 1987.

Architecture

The building is made of brick, laid out on a rectangular plan with an internal skylight. In the south-west corner stands a tower with machicolations and a viewing terrace. The roofs are gabled and decorated with dormers, and the roof slopes are bordered by stepped gables with pinnacles. Some of the former, richly decorated interior finishes survive. In front of the façade is a courtyard surrounded by farm buildings, and a landscape park adjoins the palace.

Today and accessibility

Since 1996 the palace has been owned by a Dutch citizen, who visits Poland only occasionally. The building stands almost empty, in poor technical condition, and is guarded by a tall fence separating the property from the road. It is not open to visitors - it can only be seen from the road running past the property, from some distance.
