Ruins of Panków Castle
Highlight • Castle
The first owner of the village, mentioned in a document in 1371, was Kunemann von Pankendorf from Niegoszów. His courtyard (Wehrhof) was a place of refuge for the local population in troubled times. As early as 1405 it became the property of the Wiltperg family.
In the 15th century in Panków, probably on the site of the manor house, a castle was built for the next owner of the estate - Christoph von Bock. It had a gate tower, two residential buildings and a wall enclosing the courtyard. The von Bock family ruled these lands with a brief interruption until 1650.
At the end of the 16th century the castle was destroyed by a great fire, but was rebuilt and slightly enlarged. It was quickly rebuilt in the Renaissance style, enriched with a new dwelling house and the gateway received a cross vault.
Unfortunately, the castle was not spared the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War, during which it was destroyed in 1650 and abandoned by the von Bock family.
The owners of the castle, who later changed quite frequently, included: Christoph von Zedlitz, the von Schindel family, Counts of Hochberg, Hans Christoph von Schweinitz auf Tscheplau, Baron von Posadowsky, Count David Sigismund von Zedlitz and Leipe.
Only the new owner - Friedrich von Zedlitz - rebuilt the castle in 1699, gave it the shape of a palace and gave it a baroque character. The castle consisted of a rectangular two-story building and a four-sided tower.
In 1857, after the death of Charlotte Friederika von Zedlitz, née Panczewsky-Tenczin, the palace passed into the hands of her husband Wilhelm von Zedlitz's nephew (died 1847), Georg Gustav Rudolf von Salisch and Großgraben. It remained in the possession of this family until the end of World War II. The castle was only used by the von Salisch family during hunting, as their main residence was in Kraków.
From the end of the 19th century it slowly fell into disrepair. The building was partially inhabited until World War II, in which the castle was destroyed and never rebuilt.
The last owner of Pankow, Gotthilf von Salisch, fled with his wife from Lower Silesia to Bad Gandersheim in 1945 and the castle has been falling into disrepair ever since.
