Kawaler Palace

Highlight • Castle

Świerklaniec is a small town situated in the district of Tarnowskie Góry, in the valley of the Brynica River. The history of the village and the construction of the unique palace and park complex are closely related to the Donnersmarck family. In the 1870s, Count Guido von Donnersmarck built a residence for his wife, which was called "Little Versailles" or "Silesian Versailles". Its designer was Hector Lefuel, the court architect of Napoleon III. The "Little Versailles" delighted with its splendor and technical innovations.
Thinking about the guests visiting the Donnersmarck family, in the years 1903-1906, near the "Little Versailles", another building, enchanting with its taste and modernity, was created, called the Cavalier's Palace. The Cavalier's Palace was equipped with, among others in Istrian marble floors, American "Royal" bathtubs made of one piece of earthenware, paintings by masters, etc. The main reason for its creation was the frequent visits of the Emperor of Germany, Wilhelm II, who came here to hunt. The Knight's Palace in the French neo-baroque style was designed by Ernest von Ihne, architect of Emperor Wilhelm II. The Kawalera Palace was built on a plan similar to a square. The brick facade of the building is made in two colors: red walls and white corners. In the central part of the building there is a representative, oval hall with a marble-mirror staircase. On the front of the palace there is an inscription "Memento vivere" (Remember about life), which was supposed to encourage visiting guests and bachelors (especially) to have fun.

Chechło–Nakło Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

It was the first time I was on this flood and it makes a very positive impression. The accommodation and catering infrastructure around the lagoon is very well developed.

Lake Chechło

Highlight • Lake

You can walk around the lake (5-6 km), there is an asphalted road but also small paths and in many places, you can go down to the water. Visited this place in October and it was very quiet, but inhabitants say in the summer the lake is very crowded. There were some cafés and bars around the lake.
