TUŁOWICE PALACE

This Classicist palace was erected in 1824, incorporating the remains of an earlier castle that once stood on the site. The reconstruction was initiated by Louis Praschma. Towards the end of the 19th century, the von Frankenberg-Ludwigsdorf family remodelled the residence, bestowing upon it a Neo-Renaissance character. Since the Second World War, the building’s history has been intertwined with forestry. Initially, it served as a training school for forestry workers, as well as housing apartments and a hospital; later, the estate was transferred to the State Forest District in Tułowice. For many years, it functioned as a Forestry Technical College, and today the palace interiors serve as a boarding school. Consequently, the building is open to visitors only occasionally; however, the surrounding palace park is open to the public and is well worth exploring.
