The ruin of a classicist palace in Góra County, abandoned after the closure of the state farm and partly collapsed since 2016.
Rudna Mała Palace stands on the grounds of a former farmstead in the Wąsosz municipality, Góra County. It has been abandoned for years, and after 2016 it fell into ruin, so today it is more a trace of a former residence than a place to visit.
Sources do not agree on when it was built: the Palaceslaska.pl catalogue dates the palace to the early 19th century and links it to the Demker family, while Wikipedia gives a general date of the 20th century. The estate changed owners many times - in the 18th century it belonged to the von Stosch family, in 1765 to the von Berg family, in 1787 to the von Diebitsch family, later to Samuel Jaffe (1873-1886) and Gustav Jankovius (1891), and from 1893 to 1937 to the Trog family. A farmstead operated by the palace, focused on pig breeding and grain cultivation.
The building was designed in a classicist spirit: it is a single-storey structure on a rectangular plan with a partly usable attic, with central three-axis false avant-corps closed with gables. The palace is entered on the heritage register under number A/3740/2054, with an entry from 2 June 1972.
After the Second World War the building was converted into flats for the employees of the State Agricultural Farm. After its liquidation the palace was abandoned, and after 2016 it fell into ruin and today is partly collapsed. The interior cannot be viewed safely - from the outside you can still see the outline of the former structure and the remains of classicist detail.
Within a few kilometres of Rudna Mała stand several similar, forgotten residences, including the palace in Bronów and the palace in Kłoda Górowska - Góra County is one of those parts of Lower Silesia where a particularly large number of former landed estates have survived in ruin.
