Palaces
Łomnica Palace is a baroque residence from the second half of the 17th century in the Łomnica Valley, 5 km from Jelenia Góra, flanked by the classicist "Widow's House" and a historic farmstead. After years of decay the complex has been reborn as a hotel with a restaurant — run by a descendant of its pre-war owners.
The Łomnica estate was already recorded in 1475; its owners included the Zedlitz family (until 1654), the Tomagninis (until 1737) and the Jelenia Góra merchant Christian Mentzel. In 1835 Carl Gustav von Küster bought it, and his family kept the palace until 1945. The early-baroque manor with corner avant-corps was remodelled in the 1720s — the design is attributed to Martin Franz of Reveil — and thoroughly altered again in 1838–1844 to plans by Albert Tollberg.
After 1945 the palace was taken over by the Polish state. Until 1977 it housed a school, then the building stood empty and fell into decay. In 1992 a Polish-German company bought it and restoration began. Today the complex is run by Elisabeth von Küster — a descendant of the family that owned Łomnica before the war. The palace has retained its original room layout and large fragments of wall paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries.
The classicist "Widow's House" from 1803–1804 now holds a hotel, restaurant and café, while the farm buildings contain a bakery, a smithy and shops selling linen and regional products. The village sits at the fork of the roads to Karpniki and Wojanów, so the palace works perfectly as a base for the palace-hopping side of the Jelenia Góra Valley.
