The Palace in Gorzanów is a major Renaissance and Baroque complex located in the Kłodzko Valley, currently under active restoration by the Gorzanów Palace Foundation. Originally a 16th-century manor house, it was expanded in the 17th and 18th centuries by the von Herberstein family into a sprawling residential complex. The site features significant architectural elements, including a preserved theatrical hall and extensive cellar systems. Much of the interior decor, including polychromes and decorative stucco, is being systematically secured and restored. The palace grounds include a historical terraced park layout integrated into the surrounding landscape. It serves as a cultural hub hosting concerts, exhibitions, and archaeological workshops. The building is recognized as a key monument of secular architecture in the Lower Silesian region.
