The defensive residential tower, known as the bastion, is the oldest surviving complete structure of the palace-park complex, built in 1560 by the Kurzbach family as commemorated by their coat of arms carved in sandstone above the entrance. The tower was raised by one floor by Swedish forces in 1642 during the Thirty Years' War and was named Sankt Maria Trauburg in 1668, with a steel signature featuring St. Mary and the Christ child symbolizing protection against Turkish invasion threats. After renovations in 2008, the tower now serves multiple purposes including a tourist information center, conference hall, exhibition space, hotel apartment, and viewing terrace, while historically it housed one of Silesia's largest private document archives until 1945.

The Żmigród Palace was built by the von Hatzfeld family in 1655 on the site of a former castle, and later redesigned around 1755 by Carl Gothard Langhans, the renowned Prussian architect who also designed Berlin's Brandenburg Gate. In 1813, the palace's White Hall hosted the signing of the Żmigród Protocol, a crucial agreement for Napoleon's final defeat, attended by Russian Tsar Alexander I, Prussian King Frederick William III, and British and Austrian envoys. The Red Army set fire to the palace in January 1945, destroying the beautiful southern wing completely, and the remaining ruins have stood abandoned ever since.

It is a picturesque path that follows the former railway line, offering travelers not only an active holiday but also an insight into the history of the region. The construction of the railway line connecting Żmigród with Milicz (and further on to Sulmierzyce) was part of the expansion of the regional railway network in Prussia, aimed at improving passenger and freight transport. This section was put into service at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, probably in 1898.
