Scharfeneck Castle
Scharfeneck Castle ( Polish Pałac w Sarnach ) is a castle in Ścinawka Górna (German Obersteine ). It belongs to the municipality of Radków ( Wünschelburg ) in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in Poland . The castle is located at the confluence of the Walditz ( Włodzica ) in the stones ( Ścinawka ).
history
A manor house at today's location is part of the Scharfeneck Vorwerk for the 15th century and has been handed down to the Pradels. The von Czechau and von Stillfried families later owned the manor house. In 1565 the property was sold to the Reichenbachs. The present castle was built in 1590 by Fabian von Reichenbach, the governor of the Principality of Münsterberg. In 1661 the castle passed to the imperial field marshal Johann Georg von Götzen, in whose family the castle remained for the following centuries.
In the 1720s, Count Franz Anton von Götzen built the chapel of St. John of Nepomuk, richly decorated with frescoes by Johann Franz Hoffmann, which are dedicated to the holy martyr and other saints. The palace complex was sold by Adolf von Goetzen in 1870. The last German owner, Franz Poppler, was expelled in 1946 . During the People's Republic of Poland , the castle was the seat of an agricultural production cooperative.
In the 1990s, the summer palace on the other side of the Walditz was separated and sold to private customers. Today there is a guest house in the former summer palace. The rest of the facility was initially inhabited by several families of former farmers from the agricultural production cooperative. The main building was initially given a new roof, but it was completely stolen shortly afterwards. At the end of 2013, the Agricultural Property Agency sold the property to private individuals who set up a foundation with the aim of creating a musical cultural institution in the palace complex. Behind the summer palace there is a park that dates back to an 18th century garden and was built in the 19th century and later. a. was redesigned by the garden designer Eduard Petzold.
Status after privatization
The double house in the Renaissance style, later used as a granary for the courtyard from the 17th century (see Doppelhaus (Schleswig-Holstein) ), has been partially renovated since the beginning of 2014, with the roof being rebuilt with funds from the Marshal's Office of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship .
The first to open in 2017 after extensive renovation was the gatehouse, one of the oldest buildings in the complex, which houses a tourist information office and a passage to the Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk. In 2016, the Foundation received PLN 400,000 from funds from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage for further restoration work.
