The von Choltitz family palace in Łąka Prudnicka was erected as the seat of the Niemodlin Piasts in the 15th century, on the site of an older building, which was probably located on the site of the current eastern wing. At the end of the 15th century, the Prudnik castellany together with Łąka was bought by the knightly family von Wurben, and a hundred years later the village became the property of the Tschentschau-Mettich family. The new owners rebuilt the castle in the Renaissance style, creating a four-wing residence with an inner courtyard, the facades of which were decorated with sgraffito decoration. The Mettichs were then owners of several surrounding villages and the town of Korfantów, but they considered the palace in Łąka Prudnicka their ancestral seat. In the 19th century, the new owner, Johann Karl, rebuilt the object in the Neo-Gothic style and erected a square tower in the corner. In 1840, the edifice was acquired by the von Choltitz brothers, whose descendants were the last owners of Łąka Prudnicka until the end of World War II. In the 1950s, the object was taken over by the horse stud in Prudnik, which arranged apartments and offices in the palace, and in the 1980s a hotel was located in the object. Currently, the object is not used. Practical information: The palace is not open to visitors. Free parking spaces directly in front of the facility.
