The Palace in Tułowice in southwestern Poland dates from the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It was built around 1800 for Francis of Lasocki, probably designed by Hilary Szpilowski who created many beautiful classicist palaces in the Mazovia region. The Tułowice Mansion is one of the region's most beautiful landowners' residences. It exhibits harmony of form, architectural beauty and atmosphere.

Tułowice manor house was built around 1800 for Francis from Lasocki family. Over the years, often changed owners (Linowski Constantine was in his possession in the years 1822 to 1833, then became the property Orsetich, since 1857. Mountain, then Marcel Divine, Hilary Ostrowski, from 1871 to the early twentieth century was in possession Bolechowskich, in the interwar Domaszowskich). Today, along with the park is owned by private person a painter Andrzej Novák-Zempliński. The owner respected the style in which the mansion was maintained and in the 80s built outbuilding also maintained a similar neoclassical spirit,also then in the park neo-Gothic chapel stood there.

This is a ground-floor building with a higher central part of the house. It is preceded by a four column Tuscan portico crowned with a triangular pediment. Interesting fact is that portico. Interesting fact is that the portico was placed in the garden elevation rather than the front elevation. This change of the front elevation and opening the living room for the view of the park is an expression of a new era of the Enlightenment.

This palace stands in opposition to the elegant Baroque palaces and endless courtyard garden. This is a quiet, intimate and directed to the residents house where nature plays a very important role. This is a reference to the era of romanticism which laid emphasis on the role of dreams and nature. From the front of mansion is decorated with a modest break with a pair of Tuscan pilasters and triangular pediments.

Tułowice on the map of the world, especially among the fans carriages and horse-drawn vehicles, traditional Polish court, emphasizes authentic collection of carriages, which is in the possession of the owner. It is the only collection in Poland, the owner have 24 vehicles, most of the documented provenance. They are kept inspecially adapted stylish carriage house, a former court stables.

Castle in Kopice

The Moszna Castle (Polish: Pałac w Mosznej) is a historic castle and residence located in a small village of Moszna in Poland. The castle is one of the best known monuments in the western part of Upper Silesia. The history of this building begins in the 17th century, although much older cellars were found in the gardens during excavations carried out at the beginning of the 20th century. Some of the investigators, including H. Barthel, claimed that those cellars could have been remnants of a presumed Templar castle, but their theory has never been proved. After World War II, further excavations discovered a medieval palisade.

The central part of the castle is an old baroque palace which was partially destroyed by fire on the night of April 2, 1896 and was reconstructed in the same year in its original form by Franz Hubert von Tiele-Winckler (the son of Hubert von Tiele-Winckler). The reconstruction works involved an extension of the residence. The eastern Neogothic-styled wing of the building was built by 1900, along with an adjacent orangery. In 1912-1914, the western wing was built in the Neo-Renaissance style. The architectural form of the castle contains a wide variety of styles, thus it can be generally defined as eclectic. The height of the building, as well as its numerous turrets and spires, give the impression of verticalism. The whole castle has exactly ninety-nine turrets. Inside, it contains 365 rooms with a total floorage of 7,000 sq. m. and a cubic capacity of about 65,000 m3 The castle was twice visited by the German Emperor Wilhelm II. His participation in hunting during his stay at the castle was documented in a hand-written chronicle in 1911 as well as in the following year. The castle in Moszna was the residence of a Silesian family Tiele-Winckler who were industrial magnates, from 1866 until the spring of 1945 when they were forced to move to Germany and the castle was occupied by the Red Army. The period of the Soviet control caused significant damage to the castle's internal fittings in comparison to the minor damage caused by WWII.

After World War II the castle did not have a permanent owner and was the home of various institutions until 1972 when it became a convalescent home. Later it became a Public Health Care Centre for Therapies of Neuroses. Nowadays it can be visited by tourists since the health institution has moved to another building in the neighbourhood. The castle also has a chapel which is used as a concert hall. Since 1998 the castle housed a gallery in which works of various artists are presented at regular exhibitions.

Apart from the castle itself, the entire complex includes a park which has no precise boundaries and includes nearby fields, meadows and a forest. Only the main axis of the park can be characterised as geometrical. Starting from the gate, it leads along the oak and then horse-chestnut avenues, towards the castle. Further on, the park passes into an avenue of lime trees with symmetrical canals running along both sides of the path, lined with a few varieties of rhododendrons. The axis of the park terminates at the base of a former monument of Hubert von Tiele-Winckler. On the eastern side of the avenue there is a pond with an islet referred to by the owners as Easter Island. The islet is planted with needle-leaved shrubs and can be reached by a Chinese-styled bridge. The garden, as part of the whole park complex was restored slightly earlier than the castle itself. Preserved documents of 1868 state that the improvement in the garden's aesthetic quality was undertaken by Hubert von Tiele-Winckler.

Moszna Castle

Barokowy pałac we Frączkowie zbudowany został w latach 1730- 1750 i był siedzibą rodową von Gilgenheimbów. Po śmierci Leopolda von Gilgenheimb w 1823r rezydencja przeszła na własność jego syna Erharda. Ostatnim właścicielem dóbr frączkowskich z tego rodu był hrabia Erdman.
W 1862r Frączków i okoliczne ziemie odkupił od wuja Erdmana hrabia Alexander von Francken-Sierstorpff pochodzący z Nadrenii. To jemu pałac zawdzięcza przebudowę w latach 1886- 1889 na styl neorenesansu. Przeprowadzono wówczas również prace melioracyjne oraz rozbudowano park.
Od 1915r pałac i okoliczne ziemie przeszły w ręce kolejnego właściciela i był nim Joseph Maria Kaspar von Francken-Sierstorpff . Około 1935r pożar jaki wybuch w rezydencji prawie doszczętnie ją zniszczył. Odbudowano wówczas środkową, najstarszą część z salonem rokokowym. W latach 1935- 1936 dokonano modernizacji budowli, która przybrała charakter wiejskiej posiadłości. Autorem projektu była sama hrabina- Helena von Praschm. Do dziś z tamtego okresu zachował się kominek z herbami rodowymi.
Podczas II wojny światowej rodzina mieszkała w pałacu a wojna niewiele zmieniła w jej życiu i dopiero gdy do Frączkowa zbliżały się wojska radzieckie, opuścili oni pałac podobnie jak opuściła wieś ludność pochodzenia niemieckiego. Po przejściu frontu pałac został zdewastowany, a czego nie zniszczyli żołnierze radzieccy to rozkradli i zniszczyli szabrownicy.
Po 1945r nowym właścicielem pałacu został skarb państwa. 
Przeprowadzono wówczas częściowy remont i urządzono tam mieszkania dla rodzin przesiedleńców. Niestety, nikt o budynek nie dbał. Kiedy w lutym 1949r obejrzano pałac, był doszczętnie zniszczony, nie posiadał okien, drzwi i pieców, a w dobrym stanie zachował się jedynie stary folwark.
Po kolejnym remoncie kilka lat później w dawnym pałacu powstało przedszkole, kaplica oraz dwa gabinety lekarskie. Na jakiś czas sytuacja obiektu polepszyła się.
W 1971r na terenie pałacu i parku powstał PGR, który od 1973r miał tam swoja siedzibę przeniesioną z Nysy. Dokonano kapitalnego remontu pałacu oraz uporządkowano przyległy do niego park. W pałacu toczyło się życie kulturalne pracowników PGR-u oraz mieszkańców okolicznych wsi. W parku odbywały się festyny, mecze i imprezy towarzyskie.
Obecnie pałac we Frączkowie oraz park są własnością Marzeny Horwat-Natoli oraz Pina Natoli. Trwające 3 lata prace remontowe zaowocowały powstaniem w pałacu hotelu z restauracją. Służy on też jako ośrodek szkoleniowo- konferencyjny, a park pełni rolę rekreacyjną.
Pałac we Frączkowie tonie w ciszy i kwiatach, siedząc na tarasie przy kawie i pysznej Panna Cotta podziwiałam otoczenie z małą fontannę. Właściciele mili podobnie jak obsługa. To idealne miejsce do wyciszenia się oraz odpoczynku od gwaru i zgiełku.
