Traces of the past

History hidden in ruins

The vicinity of Iłowa is also a perfect place for enthusiasts of ruins and manor architecture. In the village of Borowe, which is situated at a distance of 5 km to the west of Iłowa, there are the remains of a manor built at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, which at that time was owned by the Promnitz family. Nearby there is a park with preserved specimens of horse chestnuts, beeches and maples. It is also worth visiting the village of Czerna, situated at a distance of 5 km to the north-east of Iłowa. An interesting reminder of the history of this place is the complex of ruins of the palace built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries by Friedrich Glöckner, who owned the local ironworks and foundry, opened in the 15th century. These works were pulled down after World War II.
