Polanka Palace

Polanka Palace is a 19th-century building in the small village of Polanka, in the Ruja municipality, Legnica County. Today it houses a primary school, and its surroundings are the remains of a former park.

An eclectic residence from the second half of the 19th century

The palace was erected in the second half of the 19th century in an eclectic style, combining elements of various architectural trends. Together with the park it forms a palace-and-park complex entered on the heritage register - the palace in 1986, the park four years earlier.

From residence to school

Today the building houses a primary school, and fragments of the former park have survived around it. This is a fate similar to many other Lower Silesian palaces: after a change of owners, the building was taken over by public institutions, in this case education.
