The historic residence located in the municipality of Dąbrowa, in the Opole Voivodeship, was created at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. The two-story brick building was rebuilt many times, including in the 19th and 20th centuries, thanks to which its volume gained its present shape. The original owners were the Counts von Tschirschky, and from 1890, the palace passed into the hands of the von Wichelhaus family, owners of the nearby Narok, who managed it until 1945. The object is surrounded by a historic manor park, which together with the palace forms a harmonious landscape complex. After World War II, the palace served functional purposes for state institutions, including the PGR (state collective farm) and the Animal Insemination Facility. In the 1970s, a renovation was carried out, which saved the building from complete degradation. In 1998, the palace was transferred to the Opole University of Technology, and in 2018 it was again opened to residents and tourists during picnics and cultural events. Currently, the palace is under the care of the Manor-Palace Complex Foundation in Karczów, which carries out conservation and revitalization work. It is planned to transform the object into a hotel and conference complex. The palace in Karczów remains an important cultural point in the region, attracting lovers of architecture, history and the heritage of the Opole region.
