The Palace in Błotnica Strzelecka is a neoclassical building erected in the second half of the 19th century on the initiative of Herman Posadowski, the owner of Błotnica until 1912. The palace was surrounded by a park with a fountain, an artificial island, and a family tomb. To this day, the facility has preserved the original interior layout, with a hall and staircase on the axis. Parquet floors and coved ceilings decorated with stuccoes have survived in some rooms, and a Neo-Baroque fireplace in the room on the first floor. In the park area, one can see the tomb of the von Wehner-Posadowsky family, the last pre-war owners of the estate. In the 1920s, a staff of Silesian insurgents operated in the palace under the command of Wojciech Korfanty, one of the most important advocates for the annexation of Silesia to Poland. The events of the 3rd Silesian Uprising are commemorated by a plaque placed on one of the palace walls. In the second half of the 20th century, it was the seat of a folk university, public library, and village community center. Currently, the object is unused. Practical information: The facility is not open to visitors. Free parking spaces next to the facility.
