The Palace in Przydroże Małe was created in the Baroque style on the initiative of Count von Stahrenberg in the first half of the 18th century. In the 19th century, a Neo-Gothic tower was added to it, and a brewery and steam distillery functioning for several decades were also built in the vicinity of the building. After World War II, the estate was nationalized and placed under the administration of the State Agricultural Farm. The two-story brick building was built on a rectangular plan. Its entrance is decorated with a stone portal with a coat of arms cartouche. Remains of grange buildings stand by the palace, and the whole is surrounded by a park. Currently, the palace is not used. The palace is famous as the place where on October 9, 1741, a historic meeting and signing of a preliminary agreement between Austria and Prussia took place, concerning the agreement of conditions on which the then ongoing Prussian-Austrian war for Silesia was to end. The Prussian King Frederick II and the Austrian Field Marshal Neipperg, representing the interests of Empress Maria Theresa, took part in the meeting. The meeting went down in history under the name of the Convention of Klein Schnellendorf. To commemorate the meeting, a bronze statue of the king was erected in the castle courtyard in 1862, which was removed by Poles in 1946. Practical information: The palace is not open to visitors. Free parking spaces directly in front of the facility.
