Nowizna Palace is one of Lower Silesia's lesser-known architectural gems, well worth a stop when exploring the Dzierżoniów district. This two-story 17th-century palace, topped with a distinctive mansard roof with dormer windows, impresses with its details — coats of arms of the noble families who owned the estate over the centuries, and a Renaissance gable on one of its projecting wings.
The building is surrounded by a park dating back to 1820, making it a lovely spot for a peaceful walk among old trees, whatever the season. In spring and summer, the greenery contrasts beautifully with the white facade of the palace, while in autumn the colorful foliage creates a picturesque backdrop for photography. This is a place where history blends with the quiet of provincial Silesia, far from tourist crowds.
How to get thereFun fact: the palace houses a replica of the 1593 epitaph of Bernhard von Schellendorff, lord of Nowizna, whose original can be seen in the local Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
