AB The contribution deals with the vanished palace in the former village of Chlum. When the homestead was established in 1762, a palace - an oblong two-storeyed building with a hip roof - was built in the western wing of the old Meierhof. The original three-part layout with an entrance hall, a staircase, and rooms on the sides was later extended by adding a cellar to the north. In April 1939, the owner Theodor Svoboda commissioned a project for the palace's renovation and expansion with a separate teahouse and villa. The palace remained in this form until the beginning of the 21st century. After 1948, various institutions used it for farming and housing. After 1990, it was returned to private ownership; however, long-lasting disputes over the property led to its disrepair and the palace and the Meierhof had to be completely demolished in late 2012 and early 2013.
