history
The place was first mentioned in 1201 in a document from Pope Innocent III. mentioned. At that time it was owned by the von Spiegel family .
At the end of the 16th century it belonged to the nobleman Joachim von Neefe and Obischau, who died in 1611 and thus the estate passed into the possession of Adam von Frankenberg-Proschlitz and after his death in 1650 the von Frankenberg family. The estate remained in the family until 1768 when the von Goltzów family received it. In 1790 it moved to the Kalckreuth family , where it remained until 1829 and was finally acquired by the noble Johann Heinrich von Loesch . His family kept the land until World War II , after which it was nationalized. Bronze finds were discovered near Lorzendorf in 1926. This included a bucket, two neck rings, and four arm spirals. In 1939 Lorzendorf had 503 inhabitants.
In the 1960s, the manor in Woskowice Małe was converted into a drug therapy center. The writer Maria Frize (born 1926) grew up in this manor house.
Attractions
church
The parish church of Lorzendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1417. A document from 1666 shows that there is a wooden church with a tower and a painted ceiling in the place .
The current wooden church was built in 1711 and consecrated to St. Lawrence of Rome. The nave is almost square and, in contrast to the tower, which was built in a pile construction, is a comb construction. There are numerous neo-baroque art objects and old wall paintings in the church. The pulpit, for example, dates from the 17th century, the main altar and the baptismal font from the early 18th century, and the furnishings and a depiction of Mary from the early 19th century. There is also a representation of Christ in the church from the 1st half of the 18th century and an organ built in 1840, which was last renewed in 1897. The bell from 1593 is also noteworthy .
After 1945 the former Protestant church was converted into a Catholic church.
Mansion
The area on which the former manor house stands was built on as early as the 17th century. The current building was built in 1800 on the foundations of the previous house and was expanded by the von Loesch family in 1872–74. The last renovation dates back to 1912, when the house received its current neo-Gothic style . The house has a rectangular floor plan with a tower to the east. Also noteworthy is the granary (called bulk floor) in the courtyard, which dates back to 1894.
The writer Maria Frize (born 1926) grew up in this manor house.
In the 1960s, the mansion was converted into a drug therapy center.
