The construction of the palace began in 1734. It was built in stages until the end of the 18th century. Around 1900, it was renovated and rebuilt. After the war, it was taken over by the State Agricultural Farm. There were apartments there. In the late 1980s, the palace was abandoned and fell into ruin. Today, it is tightly overgrown with trees and bushes. There is no way to even approach it or see it. Maybe in winter, when there are no leaves, there is a better chance. Next to the palace are the remains of the farm that belonged to it. The former administrator's house is still inhabited.

EN: The palace in Rząśnik was one of the most interesting and impressive buildings of this type in the area, but years of neglect had their effect and its current appearance cries out to heaven for vengeance. Its construction began in 1734. For various reasons, the project was not fully implemented, and the construction was not completed until 1785. It should only be added that the designer of the building was Martin Frantz, a famous baroque architect, whose works also include palaces in Chocianów and Pieszyce, as well as the Łaski churches in Jelenia Góra and Kamienna Góra. Until the outbreak of the war, the palace was bustling with life, and its owners carried out the last major renovation in 1900. After the war, it became the seat of the State Agricultural Farm, as well as quarters for its employees, but due to the lack of appropriate investments, it fell into increasingly decline until 1985, when the last tenants moved out due to its poor condition. The route I took is not easy, you have to overcome several hills, but you will find other very interesting objects along the way.
