Pakoszow Palace, with its captivating and mysterious history, dates back to 1725. Its construction is linked to Johann Martin Gottfried - a wealthy merchant from nearby Jelenia Gora, who decided to erect a residence on Pakoszow lands, thus combining his ambitions with his desire to leave a lasting mark on the pages of local history. The palace was to serve as the family's summer residence and a place of relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It also served as the Pakoszow Palace's running bleaching plant for high-quality linen, for which the Jelenia Góra area and its surroundings were famous.
