The Palace in Piotrowice Nyskie was built in the second half of the 17th century on the site of a defensive knightly seat with a moat. The facility was created for the Bishop of Wrocław Sebastian Rostock and served as an important stop on the communication route from Kraków to Prague. In the 19th century, the originally Baroque edifice was partially rebuilt in the classicist style. After World War II, apartments for employees of the State Agricultural Farm were arranged in the palace. Currently, the residence serves as a hotel. The palace is a one-story building on the plan of an irregular rectangle with a small internal courtyard surrounded by an arcaded cloister. In the north-western wing of the building, there is a chapel with a 17th-century altar with a painting of the Mother of God with Child, a Baroque bishop's throne from the same period, and a sculpture of St. John of Nepomuk from the 18th century. In the crowning of the altar, the coat of arms cartouche of Bishop Sebastian Rostock is visible. Next to the entrance to the chapel, there is the coat of arms of the bishops of Wrocław carved on the wall. The palace is surrounded by a park from the mid-19th century. Practical information: The facility is made available to hotel guests or by arrangement with the owner. Free parking in front of the facility. Legend has it that Ignaz Lorenz took possession of the building in the second half of the 19th century by defeating the building's owner, Baron Wimmersperg, in a game of cards.
