Description

Pałac Kawalera, also Dom Kawalera (German: Kavaliershaus), is a historic palace in Świerklaniec, located in the grounds of the park in Świerklaniec, in the former residential complex of the Henckel von Donnersmarck family. It was erected in the years 1903–1906 on the initiative of Guido Henckel von Donnersmarck to a design by the German architect Ernst von Ihne.

The building served as a guest house intended for people visiting the Świerklaniec residence and for participants in the hunts organised on the Donnersmarck estates. It is one of the surviving elements of the palace and park complex, to which there also belonged the Donnersmarck palace and the Old Castle, which no longer exist, as well as the park church with a mausoleum.
