The castle is in excellent condition. But not accessible. It is secured with barbed wire and video surveillance. Why? I found the explanation on Wikipedia: The original palace stood on this site in 1574 (16th century). Gottlob Albrecht von Saurma (born 1743) [2] had the building rebuilt in the neoclassical style in 1798. In the first half of the 19th century, the castle was owned by the Counts von Stosch auf Manze from Mańczyce. In 1903, the building was expanded with side pavilions. The last German owner of the estate with knighthood rights until 1945 was Gustav von Johnston, a lieutenant in the Imperial Army [3]. After the end of World War II, the building fell into disrepair. The first major renovation took place in 1968. In 1977, the palace underwent extensive reconstruction. [4] It is the seat of the Ministry of Justice's correctional facility. The monument is part of the castle complex, which also includes a park [ 5 ] .

The palace complex is accessible. Wikipedia: After 1550, the Barons von Reichell owned the estate. In 1713, they had a Baroque manor house, a side wing, and a servants' quarters built south of the existing knight's residence. Starting in 1854, Benno von Tschirschky-Reichell had the ensemble expanded into a three-wing complex by connecting the servants' quarters. After a fire, the main wing was restored in a blend of Neo-Baroque and Neo-Renaissance styles. At the same time, two new staircases, a pedestal bay window, and a prestigious main portal were built. From 1908 to 1945, the Counts of Eulenburg owned the estate. In May 1945, Marie-Antoinette fled to Eulenburg, but soon returned and resumed operations. After Schlanz, along with almost all of Silesia, fell to Poland in 1945 as a result of the Second World War, the Schlanz estate was transferred to the University of Breslau as an agricultural teaching and experimental estate. Since 1989, the castle has housed a

A former monastery. Converted into a Neo-Renaissance castle at the end of the 19th century. Apparently a hotel today. When I arrived, it was firmly locked and there was no indication of this.

The palace in Sadowice, located in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, is a 16th-century classicist residence, rebuilt in 1798 by Gottlob Albrecht von Saurma. The building is located on the Bystrzyca River, on the north-western edge of the village of Sadowice, with a façade facing the farm complex, preceded by a driveway and a round lawn. Currently, the palace serves as a Ministry of Justice Correctional Facility, which means that it is not open to visitors. For road cyclists, the asphalt routes in the vicinity of Kąty Wrocławskie are attractive, but it should be remembered that the area around the palace is fenced and inaccessible to visitors.

Ruins of the castle in Panków. You can go inside. Atmospheric place.

The palace is not available to see up close.

According to internet sources, the castle in Panków was built in the 14th century on the foundations of a fortified yard and stood on an artificial island surrounded by a moat filled with water from the Bystrzyca River. A stone bridge from the 16th century leads to it. The first owner of the village, mentioned in a document in 1371, was Kunemann von Pankendorf from Niegoszów. His courtyard (Wehrhof) was a place of refuge for the local population in troubled times. As early as 1405 it became the property of the Wiltperg family. In the 15th century in Panków, probably on the site of the manor house, a castle was built for the next owner of the estate - Christoph von Bock. It had a gate tower, two residential buildings and a wall enclosing the courtyard. The von Bock family ruled these lands with a brief interruption until 1650. At the end of the 16th century the castle was destroyed by a great fire, but was rebuilt and slightly enlarged. It was quickly rebuilt in the Renaissance style, enriched with a new dwelling house and the gateway received a cross vault. Unfortunately, the castle was not spared the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War, during which it was destroyed in 1650 and abandoned by the von Bock family. The owners of the castle, who later changed quite frequently, included: Christoph von Zedlitz, the von Schindel family, Counts of Hochberg, Hans Christoph von Schweinitz auf Tscheplau, Baron von Posadowsky, Count David Sigismund von Zedlitz and Leipe. Only the new owner - Friedrich von Zedlitz - rebuilt the castle in 1699, gave it the shape of a palace and gave it a baroque character. The castle consisted of a rectangular two-story building and a four-sided tower. In 1857, after the death of Charlotte Friederika von Zedlitz, née Panczewsky-Tenczin, the palace passed into the hands of her husband Wilhelm von Zedlitz's nephew (died 1847), Georg Gustav Rudolf von Salisch and Großgraben. It remained in the possession of this family until the end of World War II. The castle was only used by the von Salisch family during hunting, as their main residence was in Kraków. From the end of the 19th century it slowly fell into disrepair. The building was partially inhabited until World War II, in which the castle was destroyed and never rebuilt. The last owner of Pankow, Gotthilf von Salisch, fled with his wife from Lower Silesia to Bad Gandersheim in 1945 and the castle has been falling into disrepair ever since.
