Country Estate Put Under The Microscope - (Poland)
The Manor House Stolz
or as I like to call it Country Estate Put Under The Microscope.
In the Middle Ages, there was a stone, brick castle with two towers, surrounded by a wall and a moat. It was destroyed during the Hussite wars in 1430. It was later partially demolished, probably near the ruins were built in the mid 16th century Renaissance defensive manor house, rebuilt in 1608. Burned on April 4, 1656. In 1729, the new owner Johann Heinirich von Chruschwand, who renovated the old manor house, was later demolished of small remains of a medieval castle.
A new baroque palace was erected on the site of the old castle, using material from the medieval castle for construction, but the construction was not completed. And in 1773 it was demolished and a new and larger palace was built in the same place.
In the nineteenth century, a tower and chapels were added to the palace. - In 1558, the whole village was bought by Siegmund von Burghaus. Because his descendant Nikolaus Joseph Silwius von Burghaus fell into debt his creditors in 1729 sold the estate of JH von Chruschwand. His widow married Fridrich Winchelem Ludwig von Schalabrendorf, to whom he brought Stolec. The next owner was Constantin von Schlabrendorf, who died childless in 1858. In the second half In the nineteenth century it belonged to Theresa von Harbuwal-Chamare de domo von Schlabrendorf, then it was held by Felix von Harbuwal-Chamare. Finally, the German state took over the palace in which the officer's school SA for Obergruppe Schlesien was organized. At the end of the war, the palace served as a museum storehouse, collections of the Castle Museum and City Art Collections in Wrocław. From the summer of 1945 the palace was occupied by the Red Army.
Description
Brick palace, plastered, built on a rectangular plan. It is two-storey, covered with a high broken roof. The southern façade was originally seven-axis, with a centrally located main entrance, decorated with a balcony portal. The elevation on the other side is eleven-axis, with a central three-axis projection and two towers on the sides. The projection has pilaster divisions and is crowned with a triangular abutment. Some of the architectural details have been preserved: window borders, festoon decorations, rusticated balconies. Two- and three-way interior layout, vaults preserved in some rooms.
I have been exploring abandoned structures for years. Looking for adventure and searching for artifacts. I decided in 2016 that I would document my adventures and soon after I decided to share by posting my videos online. I explore alone, always darting my head from left to right looking for broken windows or signs of decay. I do not disclose the location of any sites in order to maintain their preservation... sorry! As a workaholic who gets very little personal time, exploring is my most favorite thing to do. I love to share my experiences with the world. I could have gone down the media/self love route....but preferred to keep explores private. I post new video's all the time, so please visit often!
Our Disclaimer: We try really hard not to leave a footprint in our explores. Exploring can be illegal and unsafe. I can only take responsibility for my own actions not yours.

Pier at Gdańsk on a June evening
SEE MY HISTORY GROUP ON FACEBOOK :
This is from the comparitively recently constructed pier at Gdańsk. There is a wonderful cycleway along the coast between Gdańsk and Sopot.
This is my second view of the sea in the summer of 2009. At the time of writing - 27 June 2009 - it has not been too impressive. There were some wonderful days in May as can be seen in my films from the Czech Republic but June has been a complete washout in most of Europe north of the Alps.
My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland. I have produced a number of films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occasional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects

Description: The royal buildings are among the most impressive buildings in Dresden. The Dresden Castle was once the home of the princely and royal household since 1485. The wings of the building have been renewed, built upon and restored many times. Due to this integration of styles, the castle is made up of elements of the Renaissance, Baroque and Classicist styles.
The Zwinger Palace is across the road from the castle. It was built on the old stronghold of the city and was converted to a center for the royal art collections and a place to hold festivals. Its gate (surmounted by a golden crown) by the moat is famous.
Other royal buildings and ensembles:
Brühl's Terrace was a gift to Heinrich, count von Brühl, and became an ensemble of buildings above the river Elbe.
Dresden Elbe Valley with the Pillnitz Castle and other castles
The Hofkirche was the church of the royal household. Augustus the Strong, who desired to be King of Poland, converted to Catholicism, as the Polish kings had to be Catholic. At that time, Dresden was strictly Protestant. Augustus the Strong ordered the building of the Hofkirche, the Roman Catholic Cathedral, to establish a sign of Roman Catholic religious importance in Dresden. The church is the cathedral Sanctissimae Trinitatis since 1980. The crypt of the Wettin Dynasty is located within the church.
In contrast to the Hofkirche, the Lutheran Frauenkirche was built almost contemporaneously by the citizens of Dresden. It is said to be the greatest cupola building in Central and Northern Europe. The city's historic Kreuzkirche was reconsecrated in 1388.
There are also other churches in Dresden, for example a Russian Orthodox Church in the Südvorstadt district.

Dresden
Dresden (German pronunciation: [ˈdʁeːsdən]; Upper Sorbian: Drježdźany) is the capital city of the Free State of Saxony in Germany. It is situated in a valley on the River Elbe, near the Czech border. The Dresden conurbation is part of the Saxon Triangle metropolitan area with 2.4 million inhabitants.
Dresden has a long history as the capital and royal residence for the Electors and Kings of Saxony, who for centuries furnished the city with cultural and artistic splendor. The city was known as the Jewel Box, because of its baroque and rococo city center. The controversial British and American bombing of Dresden in World War II towards the end of the war killed approximately 25,000, many of whom were civilians, and destroyed the entire city center. The bombing gutted the city, as it did for other major German cities. After the war restoration work has helped to reconstruct parts of the historic inner city, including the Katholische Hofkirche, the Semper Oper and the Dresdner Frauenkirche as well as the suburbs.

SUMMARY
=======
Dresden (German pronunciation: [ˈdʁeːsdn̩] (listen); Upper and Lower Sorbian: Drježdźany; Czech: Drážďany; Polish: Drezno) is the capital city and, after Leipzig, the second-largest city of the Free State of Saxony in Germany. It is situated in a valley on the River Elbe, near the border with the Czech Republic.
Dresden has a long history as the capital and royal residence for the Electors and Kings of Saxony, who for centuries furnished the city with cultural and artistic splendor, and was once by personal union the family seat of Polish monarchs. The city was known as the Jewel Box, because of its baroque and rococo city centre. The controversial American and British bombing of Dresden in World War II towards the end of the war killed approximately 25,000 people, many of whom were civilians, and destroyed the entire city centre. After the war restoration work has helped to reconstruct parts of the historic inner city, including the Katholische Hofkirche, the Zwinger and the famous Semper Oper.
Since German reunification in 1990 Dresden is again a cultural, educational and political centre of Germany and Europe. The Dresden University of Technology is one of the 10 largest universities in Germany and part of the German Universities Excellence Initiative. The economy of Dresden and its agglomeration is one of the most dynamic in Germany and ranks first in Saxony. It is dominated by high-tech branches, often called “Silicon Saxony”. The city is also one of the most visited in Germany with 4.3 million overnight stays per year. The royal buildings are among the most impressive buildings in Europe. Main sights are also the nearby National Park of Saxon Switzerland, the Ore Mountains and the countryside around Elbe Valley and Moritzburg Castle. The most prominent building in the city of Dresden is the Frauenkirche. Built in the 18th century, the church was destroyed during World War II. The remaining ruins were left for 50 years as a war memorial, before being rebuilt between 1994 and 2005.
According to the Hamburgische Weltwirtschaftsinstitut (HWWI) and Berenberg Bank in 2017, Dresden has the fourth best prospects for the future of all cities in Germany.
