Palace in Bożków - a historic 16th century palace built by von Magnis in the village Bożków in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship.

From about 1520, the estate in Bożków was owned by the von Raueck family. After the Czech-Palatinate war, the estate was confiscated and given to the emperor's physician Caspar Jäschke von Eisenhut [1]. Then it passed into the hands of the Jesuits, who bought it from Johann Georg von Götzen, who built the castle and greatly contributed to the construction of the church in its present form. After the childless death of the last male descendant of this family, Count Johann von Götzen, the estate passed in 1780 to the son of one of his sisters Count Antony Alexander von Magnis [1].

The palace in its present shape was built between 1787 and 1791 with the reconstruction of an earlier building from the foundation of Alexander von Magnis [2]. On the northern side in 1800, a park with artificial ruins with tombstone plates and shields dating from the 16th and 17th centuries and a forester's lodge was founded. In 1813 a lookout tower was built on Grodziszcze Mountain.

The last reconstruction of the castle occurred after his great fire in 1870 by Count William von Magnis [1]. In 1871, the palace was rebuilt. In 1930 the facade was rebuilt into a classicist [2]. After 1945 the palace became the property of the State Treasury (and since 1999 the Starostwa) and for many years housed a school in it. In 1973 the palace was refurbished, and in the years 1975-1979 conservation treatments were carried out in the first floor rooms [1]. At the end of the twentieth century, the object fell into ruin [3]. In 2005 the starosta Klodzki sold the castle to Fenelon Group for PLN 2.5m. In 2010 it was bought by an investor from Sobótka [4]. In 2016 the palace was made available for sightseeing [5].

Among the guests who visited the palace in Bożków were, among others. John Quincy Adams [1], later US president and Prussian kings Frederick William III Hohenzollern with his wife Luisa and Friedrich Wilhelm IV Hohenzollern.

By decision of the Voivodeship Conservator of Monuments of 14 May 1981 the object was entered in the register of monuments [6].

It is now a Baroque-Classicist residence with a mighty tower on the north-east side and a second tower, smaller on the north-west side. The foundation has three storeys and is built on a circular section in a multi-pattern system [2]. The building has internal skylights and several gable roofs with loacs and facades. In the central part of the main wing, the walls of the Baroque foundation have been preserved [2]. At present, the palace interiors are severely destroyed and devastated [3].

Next to the palace is a late Baroque garden pavilion dating back to around 1800, covered with a mansard roof [2].
