a great monument, well-preserved walls, and that tree in the middle - a priceless view

The temple was built in the 13th century by Prince Henry the Bearded and his wife Jadwiga. The church itself was built of field stones and bog iron ore. The brick and wooden turret with a bell dates back to the 20th century. It is a replica of the medieval one that collapsed in 1688. In the inner wall there was a pulpit and a painting depicting the agreement concluded in 1214 by the Piast princes, brothers Henry II the Pious and Konrad, who were fighting each other. Their mother, Jadwiga, tried to reconcile them. Apparently, she did not quite succeed, because the conflict turned into a fratricidal war. Konrad could not forgive his father, Henry the Bearded, for omitting his older brother in appointing him as his successor. The dispute was resolved by a battle. Henry was supported by the Germans, Konrad by the Poles. In the Battle of Studnica, Konrad's troops were defeated by the Germans. In the niches of the stone walls, a chapel with figures of the Virgin Mary and a cross with the inscription "wiederfeh'n" (we will meet again) have survived. A tree rooted in the walls adds magic to this place. Granite tombstones have been collected in the square by the tower. This is a remnant of the pre-war cemetery. During the Reformation, the church was administered by the Evangelicals and then by the Catholic parish in Słocina. Like many monuments in the region, it was not spared by the Thirty Years' War (1618-48). In the form of a secured ruin and a restored tower, it has survived to this day.

It’s called „hotel” by locals due to it’s shape with characteristic balcony however it was nitrocelulose station where celulose was nitrated. Process was extremaly toxic. Balconies were needed to allow workers to take quick brake from acidic gases. Holes in the floor are leftovers from vertical mixing instalation. On the top floor you can find concrete celulose reservoirs. On the ground floor cylindrical bases for tanks and machinery. Ground floor was covered with special tiles that could stand contact with acid. Building have concrete support and walls made of bricks. Because nitrocelulose is explosive the whole idea is: in case of explosion the support remains while the walls are blown up. This solution allowed to quickly fix damage and continue production.

I didn't notice this villa here, but I did notice the nice square with a fountain.

All the signs said it was a hotel on the former complex of Alfred Nobel's explosives factory. Based on the construction and the shape of the holes in the floor, I can't imagine that.

The buildings were wholly or partially surrounded by earthen walls intended to protect against the impact of a blast wave from the outside or to suppress the blast wave inside. The distinctive feature was a massive reinforced concrete skeleton and light "blow-out windows" In the event of an explosion, the brick bulkhead was intended to shatter and be thrown out of the object. The most dangerous semi-finished products were stored in huge stable concrete cylinders several floors high, the walls were 1-2 m thick and reinforced with additional internal ribs and external pillars, while the light roofs were made of planks. Three such cylinders, apparently intended for use with nitroglycerine and nitrocellulose, were also sprayed with earth. The use of silos is still a mystery. Different sources reflect different uses.

At the beginning of the 17th century the village belonged to Cristoph von Berge, and in the 50s of the 17th century it belonged to Albrecht von Ronow. In 1642 the property was owned by Lieutenant Rudolf von Bünau, owner of the villages Nowa Roli, Świbinek, Matuszowice and Czerna. In 1668 the prince's village received town charter from Prince Christian I in 1678. The property later belonged to the family of Counts von Promnitz and Counts von Brühl. After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, they became the property of the Prussian state. In 1879 the property was owned by the Counts of Brühl and belonged to them until 1945.

Until 1684 Mildenau was owned by the von der Dahme and von Knobelsdorff families, from 1685 until the end of the 18th century owned by the von Dyhrn family, who rebuilt and enlarged the old castle. The last owner of this family on Mildenau was Marianne von Dyhrn, through whom the manor passed into the possession of her direct descendants from the Keck von Schwarzbach family around 1793. In 1827 the manor came into the hands of the von Mutzdorf family. The value of the entire manor with the castle and 40 individual ponds was estimated at around 30,000 Reichsthaler. Leberecht Theüner acquired it around 1841, and his son Moritz Theüner inherited it nine years later. The von Wackerbarth family bought the estate in 1913, but sold it three years later to an entrepreneurial family from Sorau who were active in the textile industry. Around 1928 Mildenau became the home of the von Dyhrn family again, today a welfare home. Source: Wikipaedia You can enter the area without any problems.
