Buchwald Castle
Buchwald Castle ( Polish : Pałac w Bukowcu ) is a castle in Bukowiec in the Powiat Jeleniogórski ( Hirschberg District ) in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in Poland. It is located in the Hirschberg Valley and was famous for its park at the beginning of the 19th century.
history
The castle is an under von Zedlitz built in the second half of the 16th century house festival back. This was expanded and rebuilt under Maximilian von Reibnitz in 1744. After several intermediate owners, the castle came into the possession of the mining captain Friedrich Wilhelm von Reden in 1785 , who had been director of the Oberbergamt in Breslau from 1779 . According to plans by Martin Friedrich Rabe , the palace was redesigned in a classicist style between 1790 and 1800 . The castle tower was demolished except for the substructure. According to plans by Carl Gottfried Geißler, a classicist farmyard with heated glass houses, coach houses and stables was laid out. Von Reden had intensive livestock farming and experimented with types of grain that were adapted to the foothills of the mountains.
Caspar David Friedrich , Carl Gustav Carus , Heinrich Friedrich Karl vom und zum Stein and John Quincy Adams were guests in the castle . The park landscape laid out by Friedrich Wilhelm von Reden and his wife Friederike was praised as the "Silesian Arcadia". Most of the parkland stretched north of the castle and also included the agricultural areas and buildings. In the park there were also so-called park staffages: a fisherman's house, a tea room, a ruined monastery and a temple. A watch tower was built on a hill north of the village, from which a view of the southern part of the Hirschberg Valley and the Giant Mountains opened up. Alleys led to the neighboring parks of Fischbach (today: Karpniki ) and Erdmannsdorf ( Mysłakowice ).
After the transfer to Poland in 1945, the Wrocław University of Veterinary Medicine was housed in the castle, later a holiday home and from 1984 an agricultural academy. Today the castle is the seat of the municipal administration. For a number of years the Foundation for Castles and Gardens in the Hirschberger Tal has been working on the repair of the ensemble and the reconstruction of the Vorwerk as a conference and training center.
Building
The portal of the castle comes from Carl Gottfried Geißler. Inside, the so-called pulpit with a stitch cap vault and coats of arms of Freiherr von Reibnitz and Eleonore von Netz as well as the classicist dining room have been preserved. Some park facades have been preserved in the park, in particular the Belvedere and the ruins of the monastery .
