The Palace in Biechów dates from the 1860s on the initiative of Eloi von Matuschke, to whom the estate was passed by his aunt, the owner of Biechów, Antonietta von Montbach. It stands on the site of an earlier Baroque residence, which was consumed by fire. The palace in the style of a Neo-Renaissance villa was designed by architect Bogislaw Lüdecke, who became famous as the builder of palaces in Tułowice and Kopice. The palace was built on a rectangular plan, placing ancestral coats of arms on its front wall. The main entrance leads through a porch supported on columns. The roof edge is decorated with vases and obelisks stylized as antique. After the occupation of Biechów by the Red Army in 1945, the residence was looted, and the palace furnishings were taken away as war booty to the USSR. Part of the works of art was saved and taken to Wawel in Kraków. Some of them, including a Meissen vase, clock, mirror, carpet, and paintings, can currently be viewed in the Museum in Nysa. Currently, the object is not used. Behind the palace is a park, which turns into a landscape reserve called "Biechów Gorge." In its vicinity, there are farm buildings and fish ponds. Practical information: The facility is not open to visitors. Free parking spaces next to the facility.
