Eight graves have survived in the von Tiele-Winckler family cemetery. The founder of the family, Hubert von Tiele-Winckler, is buried at the foot of a tall cross. In the second row lies his eldest son, Franz Hubert, builder of the palace in Moszna. In the third row lies the second-to-last Count, Klaus Hubert (Franz Hubert's son). The last Count, Hans Werner von Tiele-Winckler, left Moszna in 1945 before the estate was occupied by the Red Army. He died in Germany in 1957 and was buried there. The Moszna family necropolis is located on a small hill, accessible by the original steps. A high fence and a wrought-iron gate (also historic) remain to this day. In spring, the cemetery is filled with colorful azaleas.

I will go back there, but the last sentence on this sign made the biggest impression on me: "The reserve is subject to generally known regulations specifying the principles of contact with nature" Such a civilized form of "no entry for simpletons, litterers and vandals"

The Praschma family palace in Tułowice is a neo-Baroque residence from the late 19th century, surrounded by a vast park with interesting old trees. Although it currently serves as a school and is not open to the public inside, it is worth stopping for a moment to see its elegant façade and relax in the peaceful surroundings. An asphalt road leads to the palace, making it easily accessible to road cyclists. It is a good place for a short stop on the route through the Tułowice area.

It is worth setting aside at least half an hour to walk around the palace building and walk along the park alleys. Architectural elements on the building, interesting specimens of flora, and a few other elements that make it worth staying in this place for longer.

In 1853 Karl Gotthard Seherr-Thoss sold Moszna to Heinrich von Erdmannsdorf, who in 1866 sold it to Hubert von Tiele-Winckler of Miechowice. His son Franz Hubert was the originator and builder of the palace, which was built after the baroque palace was partially burned down in 1896. Franz Hubert's grandfather, Franz Winckler, worked as a miner in the mine in Miechowice. After the death of his wife and mine owner, he married his rich widow Maria Aresin. In 1840 the Prussian king gave him the title of nobility. The heiress to the fortune was his daughter Valeska, who married Hubert von Tiele in 1854. After marriage, they use a combined surname - Tiele-Winckler. Hubert died in 1893 and his estate passed to his eldest son Franz-Hubert according to the majority principle. In 1895 he became a nobility thanks to the title of count that Kaiser Wilhelm bestowed on him. A year later, after a fire, he rebuilt and expanded his headquarters. In 1904 and later in 1911 and 1912 the Count was visited by the ruler of Germany for hunting and the west wing was built for him in 1911-1913. Franz-Hubert's son Claus-Peter spent part of his ancestors' fortune in the interwar period. When he died childless, he adopted his cousin, whose son was to inherit the estate and the title of count. His family lived in Moszna Castle until the end of the war and fled to Germany from the advancing Red Army.

Moschen // Moszna. The name of the village probably comes from the surname Moschin. According to legend, Moszna belonged to the Knights Templar in the Middle Ages. In 1679, Moszna was owned by the von Skall family. In 1723, after the death of the owner Ursula Maria von Skall, Moszna passed into the hands of her cousin, the court marshal of Frederick the Great - Georg Wilhelm von Reisewitz. The castle - the central part of the current castle - dates from this period. In 1771, the von Reisewitz family lost Moszna and the property was purchased at auction by Heinrich Leopold von Seherr-Thoss. In 1853, Karl Gotthard Seherr-Thoss sold Moszna to Heinrich von Erdmannsdorf, who sold it in 1866 to Hubert von Tiele-Winckler from Miechowice. His son Franz Hubert was the originator and builder of the castle, which was built after the partial burnt down of the Baroque castle in 1896. Franz Hubert's grandfather, Franz Winckler, worked as a miner in the mine in Miechowice. After the death of his wife and mine owner, he married his rich widow Maria Aresin. In 1840, the Prussian king granted him the title of nobility. The heiress of the fortune was his daughter Valeska, who married Hubert von Tiele in 1854, who bought Moszna in 1866. After the marriage, they used a combined surname - Tiele-Winckler. Hubert died in 1893, and his estate passed to his eldest son Franz-Hubert according to the majority principle. In 1895, he was ennobled by the title of count awarded to him by Emperor Wilhelm. A year later, after a fire, he rebuilt and expanded his residence. In 1904, and later in 1911 and 1912, the count was visited by the ruler of Germany for hunting, and the west wing was built for him in 1911–1913. Franz Hubert's son Claus-Peter spent part of his ancestors' fortune in the interwar period. When he died childless, he adopted his cousin, whose son was to inherit the estate and the title of count. His family lived in Moszna Castle until the end of the war and fled to Germany to escape the approaching Red Army. After the war, the fate of the castle was different - from 1972 it has been operating as a hospital for the treatment of neuroses. Moszna - According to Franz Hubert's imagination, the castle has 365 rooms and 99 towers, for which it is famous. The unique architecture of the castle attracts crowds of tourists every year.
