The Palace in Smardy was created in the second half of the 19th century using the foundations of an older manor, funded by the von Monsterberg und Muenckeau family. Carl Langhans was responsible for the architectural design of the building. After World War II, the building belonged to the local State Agricultural Farm, which arranged employee apartments inside it. The palace was erected on a rectangular plan and consists of a higher central part and two lower wings on the sides. Traces of old divisions and decorations have been preserved on the facade. Near the palace, there are – today abandoned – former farm buildings. Around the palace stretches a landscape park with a tree stand dominated by pedunculate and red oaks, black locusts, sycamores, ashes, maples, small-leaved limes, and hornbeams. A pedunculate oak with a 4-meter circumference deserves special attention. Currently, the palace is private property. Practical information: The facility is not open to visitors. On site, you can leave your car on the shoulder of the access road to the former agricultural farm.
