history
A residential tower protected by a moat was built early on , the remains of which can still be traced today. The first owner was possibly Nicolaus von Kemererdorf, who in connection with a dispute with Duke Heinrich III. of Breslau with Duke Heinrich III. is mentioned by Glogau . In 1571, the von Seidlitz family expanded the building into a four-wing moated castle, with an inner courtyard lined with arcades. From this time vaults in the style of the time, profiled door frames and an Ionic column as a support for the kitchen vault were preserved.
Via von Knobelsdorff , Kammendorf went to Carl Friedrich von Kalckreuth in 1657 , who had the palace redesigned in baroque style. The north facade was designed with composite colossal pilasters and a three-axis central risalit with triangular gables. From 1740 to 1744 the palace was rebuilt in the Baroque style, presumably based on a design by the architect Christoph Hackner . In the middle of the 18th century it was owned by von Stillfried , in 1792 it came to Karl Abraham Freiherr von Zedlitz , who bequeathed it to a Fräuleinstift.
In 1871 the south and east wings were demolished and after 1935 the interior was divided into apartments. These were inhabited by people resettled from eastern Poland after 1945 and abandoned and left to decay in the 1980s. The ruin is currently privately owned and continues to deteriorate.
