Palace in Pietronki near Chodzież

A manor house was built in Pietronki near Chodzież at the beginning of the 15th century, and its first owner was Jan Strzelecki. During the march of Napoleon's troops, a cemetery was established here for the soldiers of the "Little Corporal".
After the war, the manor was converted into a kindergarten, but neglect led to its gradual ruin. Currently, the facility is leased by the "Paradise" Travel Agency and is still neglected.
Every year, more historic farms, castles and palaces disappear from Polish landscapes.
As a result of human negligence, thoughtlessness or intentional actions, approximately 250 residences were destroyed in Silesia alone.
Before the start of World War II, there were approximately 19,000 landowners' residences within the borders of the Second Polish Republic, including 15,000 manors and approximately 4,000 palaces, most of them in the Eastern Borderlands.
During the times of the Polish People's Republic, the greatest devastation of monuments took place, all in the name of fighting "class inequality".
Thousands of monuments that miraculously survived World War II fell into ruin during the Polish People's Republic.
In Poland alone, we currently have approximately 70,000 registered. historic buildings entered into the register of monuments, including over 300 palaces and castles.
There are 402 castles left, 1/4 of which are located in Lower Silesia.​​​​​​​
Currently, out of 16,000 manors, about 150 remain in good condition, which is less than 1% of all facilities in Poland, of which 38% of manors, 37% of palaces and 41% of parks require renovation.
