Glumbowitz Castle
Glumbowitz Castle ( Polish : Pałac w Głębowicach ) is the ruin of a castle in Głębowice ( Glumbowitz ) in the rural community Wińsko ( Winzig ) in the powiat Wołowski in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in Poland . It was considered to be one of the most important castles of high classicism .
history
Since the end of the 18th century, the place was owned by the Redern family . The palace was built by Erdmann Gustav von Redern 1801–1826, presumably based on a design by the architect Christian Valentin Schultze. In 1842, Count Carl von Pourtalès acquired the castle. Plans for the neo-baroque redesign of the palace were drawn up but not implemented. At the end of the 19th century, the castle received a rich art collection with sculptures by Jacopo Sansovino and the Donatello school as well as a large collection of paintings. During the Second World War , the graphic collection of the Wroclaw Silesian Museum of Fine Arts , which was lost when the Red Army marched in in 1945, was relocated here . After Glumbowitz and most of Silesia fell to Poland in 1945, the castle was the administrative seat and residence of an agricultural production cooperative . After it was privatized in 1996, renovation work started but not continued. Since then, the castle has fallen into ruin.
Building
The castle has three wings with an attic floor with semicircular windows and a mansard roof . On the courtyard side, the facade is designed with a convex risalit with an attic balustrade. The facade is accentuated by a stucco eagle frieze with festoons.
