When we bought the palace in 2016, we didn't think that one day we would welcome guests there. However, life can surprise you. The residence, built in 1830, has followed a winding path in life. A few years after the construction was completed, the palace was damaged by fire; after World War II, it became a summer camp for children, and later it housed workers' apartments. There was even a grocery store. The future of the monument was neither fairy-tale nor rosy. And then we showed up. We were not deterred by the then condition of the palace or the surrounding park. The reconstruction took us 9 years and we tried to take care of every detail to restore the building's former glory - chandeliers came from France and the Netherlands, wallpapers from Germany, tiles, fittings and ceramics from Italy. Additionally, antiques, paintings, stylized furniture, wainscoting, tiled stoves, a renovated wooden staircase... Today, in pampered surroundings, from April to December we welcome guests looking for peace and respite in one of the 12 rooms of the 19th-century residence. We feed them the best local products, including home-made ones, surround them with a calm atmosphere and encourage them to discover the history of the palace and the surrounding park.
Look for all this in Lower Silesia, in the town of Gruszów, only 40 km from Wrocław. Here we have a view of Ślęża and the Sowie Mountains and fairy-tale conditions for a reset from everyday life.
Gruszów Palace is not just another palace hotel. It is a private residence where everyone will feel like a long-awaited guest. The historic interiors breathe elegance and peace. It is a real refuge for those looking to escape from everyday life. We offer eleven rooms in various categories, from cozy mansard rooms to unique apartments with historic tiled stoves. It is an ideal place for those looking for rest in an extraordinary place. We value peace and quiet, which is why we do not organize loud events, such as weddings or integration meetings.
Our guests know that we focus on local products and our own products. For a good start to the day, you will drink delicious coffee made from a specially roasted palace blend from Palarni Blend, apple juice from the Ekolomia organic farm and juices from the nearby Sady Ślężański. Our breakfast buffet also includes delicious natural meat products from local producers, vegetables from our own field, artisanal crispy bread baked at the Kozłonoga Ecological Farm, honey from the nearby Pod Ślęża Apiary and homemade jams, jams and jellies made from fruit from our orchard.
The Gruszów Palace is located in a tiny, charming village. It is surrounded by a historic park full of old trees and bushes, where numerous species of birds find their home.
Everyone will find a place for themselves here to breathe, think, dream or just sit and look at the greenery. Nearby fields encourage long hikes with views of Ślęża and the Sowie Mountains. It is also a beautiful area for long-distance bicycle trips.
We are 7 km near Świdnica, the former capital of the Duchy of Świdnica-Jawor, the most powerful and richest in Silesia in the Middle Ages. It is worth visiting not only the Market Square, but also the Church of Peace, which is on the UNESCO list, and the Gothic cathedral, rebuilt in the Baroque style.
Nearby we have a wide range of museums, such as: the Museum of Old Trade in Świdnica, the Silesian Railway Museum in Jaworzyna Śląska, the Old Mine - Science and Art Center in Wałbrzych, the Porcelain Museum in Wałbrzych, the Hilbert Mill in Dzierżoniów.
