Pałac

Ruiny zespołu pałacowego
Pałac został zbudowany w latach 1731-1745 przez rodzinę Golców, którzy byli właścicielami wsi Kłębowiec od XVI wieku. Była to budowla w stylu barokowym, nawiązującym do wzorów francuskich, zaprojektowana zasadniczo na planie prostokąta, rozbudowanego ryzalitami tworzącymi niemal oddzielne skrzydła, zaś poprzez dobudowanie w narożnikach dwóch oficyn układ całości przybrał kształt podkowy. Główna  fasada zwrócona jest na północ, elewacja ogrodowa zaś na południe. Pałac był dwukondygnacyjny, przy czym piętro części głównej było wyższe, niż piętra skrzydeł bocznych, w których większość pomieszczeń miało przeznaczenie gospodarcze . Pałac został wymurowany z cegły ceramicznej, pierwotnie otynkowany, z bogatymi zdobieniami architektonicznymi,  licznymi pilastrami, ryzalitami, gzymsami. Również w wnętrzach wielu pomieszczeń występowały profilowane gzymsy, stiukowe dekoracje, różnokształtne płyciny urozmaicające płaszczyzny ścienne. Zachowało się zdjęcie wnętrza sieni pałacu, na którym widoczne są dwuskrzydłowe drzwi zdobione płycinami w formie zbliżonej do owalu obramowanych szczeblinami w kształt prostokątów o zróżnicowanych wymiarach.   Na ścianach jednej z sal zachowały się malowidła, w innej – arkadowe wnęki w ścianach. Przed kilkunastu laty widoczna była dobrze zachowana wieńcząca szczyt tarcza herbowa flankowana postaciami rycerzy w zbrojach i hełmach z przyłbicami. Na niej gniazdo założyła para bocianów, dodając ruinom malowniczości. Obramowania okien również przez wiele lat przyciągały wzrok zdobieniami.  Po pożarze w 1945 r. zamek stopniowo popadał w ruinę. Ciekawostką może być fakt, iż najdłużej w miarę dobrym stanie zachowała się kaplica ewangelicka w oficynie wschodniej. Istnieje legenda mówiąca o tym, że w czasie budowy pałacu ktoś z rodziny Goltzów obraził starą kobietę, mieszkającą w tej wsi. Wielu mieszkańców Kłębowca i innych okolicznych wsi uważało, iż zajmuje się ona czarami. Na pewno zaś znała się na zielarstwie i umiała wyleczyć wiele chorób. Pomagała i ludziom i zwierzętom, zawsze więc jakieś zwierzaki kręciły się koło niej. Młody von Goltz  (imienia legenda nie wspomina, rzucił kamieniem w kota towarzyszącego kobiecie idącej przez wieś. Kiedy zwróciła paniczowi uwagę, ten wyśmiał ją obraźliwie. Kobieta powiedziała po cichu: „Zło do złego wraca, ty się ani zdrowiem ani pieniędzmi nie będziesz cieszył, a twoje dzieci nie pomieszkają w tym pałacu”. Budowa pałacu zakończyła się w 1745 roku, Goltzowie po czterdziestu latach przestali być jego właścicielami.

The suspension bridge
For many years, there has been a bridge connecting the Bukowina in Wałcz with the forest on the other side of Raduń Lake. The name of the bridge - the Kłosowski bridge, was taken from the name of that forest.  Before the bridge was built, You had had to go around Raduń Lake to get to the other side, or use a carrier with a boat. It happened that the carrier did not always hear the call when he was on the opposite shore ... In the winter of 1890-1891, after long preparations a bridge was built at the narrowest point of the lake. Residents and tourists were able to walk comfortably around the Bukowina and the Kłosowski Forest. While building a bridge, they did not foresee, however, that it would be an obstacle for ships - it was a wooden construction hanging rather low. A resident of Wałcz, who moved to Berlin, presented the town with two small steam ships in 1910.  The ships had quite high chimneys, so it was necessary to elevate the bridge in its central part, which gave it scenic beauty. That bridge was a favourite motif on the pre-war postcards and a venue of romantic meetings. There is even a legend about the bridge and unrequited love:
Well, over 100 years ago, on a beautiful spring day on the bridge was Julia, a very young resident of Wałcz, shielding from solar radiation with a lace umbrella. A few of her relatives - father, mother, a little brother were standing next to her. Then a boat with a fiercely rowing young man appeared on the lake. He looked at the group of people standing on the bridge and paddled away. But Julia looked at the boatman and fell in love with him right away with her first youthful love. From that day on, she took the family for frequent walks to Raduń Lake, she sometimes slipped out alone, hoping to see the object of their sighs again. Indeed, she succeeded a few times and these meetings fuelled her feelings. She dreamed of the moment when they finally get to know personally, imagined the next meeting, proposal, and finally marriage.
They exchanged salutations after some time. Although the young man looked interested in Julia, their knowledge never developed as the girl imagined. The athlete was not going to play the role of Romeo. His name was Uwe and he willingly chatted with Julia, was telling jokes, he even asked her and her brother on a boat ride. Julia was waiting for something more, though. One day Uwe said that he was going back home to Berlin for two months, but would return to continue training. Julie got sad, but hope appeared in her heart - maybe Uwe wanted to talk with his family about them? Maybe his parents would accept her and their acquaintance would finally turn into what she had dreamed about?
And Julia began to dream more boldly. She believed in the dreams to such an extent that she told her parents about them as if they were reality. She said Uwe went to talk with their parents about the wedding. She was a good match, her father was a wealthy merchant, so the future son-in-law could count on a good dowry. The family began to plan the wedding. Julia watched the models of wedding dresses, an in the end it was decided to make the purchase in Berlin in the most famous and most expensive company. When Julia was watching the dresses, another young lady - a beautiful slender blonde with green eyes, was buying a wedding dress. Those eyes stuck in Julia's memory, they were like water in Raduń Lake.
A return to Wałcz with a wedding dress was joyful. Julia was happy as a child, imagining herself as a bride and then - a happy wife. She planned a honeymoon - a romantic trip to Venice. Two months passed. The girl eagerly awaited the beloved, being completely sure of his marriage proposal. She stood on the Kłosowski bridge every day, waiting for the familiar boat. Finally, she saw him sailing. Her heart beat with joy, but suddenly she rubbed her eyes with a surprise - there a girl with Uwe in the boat! Uwe waved cheerfully at Julia and, after sailing close to her, exclaimed: - 'Welcome Miss Julia! I would like to introduce my wife Gertruda von Wenzlau!' And Julia saw a beautiful woman with green eyes - green like water in the lake! She nodded at her, but she was unable to stutter a single word from her tightened throat. She turned away and ran back home.  She cried for three days and three nights without telling the family what happened. And when she stopped crying, she pulled out the wedding dress from the wardrobe, put it on, and left the house. As if in a lunatic dream, she headed for the bridge. She stood on it for a while looking at the water, which reminded her about Gertrude's eyes. -'This colour is my death ...' - thought Julia, and jumped into the water.
For many years, a white figure in a wedding dress was allegedly seen on the Kłosowski bridge. Now, when there is a suspension bridge in its place, Julia's spirit appears on the shore of the lake, looking for an old wooden bridge to check from it if the beloved is approaching in his boat...
During the war, the bridge was destroyed, but after some time Polish soldiers built a new wooden bridge as community service, which was converted into a steel suspension bridge in 1978. The suspension bridge on Raduń Lake is now a popular tourist attraction in Wałcz.

The Town Hall
The Town Hall in Wałcz is located in the historical town centre in the western side of the market square. The oldest part of Wałcz has a preserved old street layout modelled on the one of Lübeck and Freiburg. There is even a legend, which says that it is for Wałcz this plan had been prepared, but because it was fraudulently stolen, these cities had already expanded the settlements having existed there, and a fishing village called Wałcz or Wolczen had to wait almost 200 years.
Currently, the old market square in the town centre has a trapezoidal shape and is called Wolności Square. It once served as the town market square, then a representative square with a fountain, a market square after the war, a municipal square with lots of greenery, ant it finally returned to its representational function. On the occasion of the 700th anniversary of the town, the square was renovated, paved with cobbles, a fountain was built in its northern part (which twin cities co-financed) and a pump of a shape referring to historical forms of these type of devices was erected. To the west, there is the coat of arms of the town in front of the town hall, laid with cobblestones surrounded by a floral background. The square is limited by Kilińszczaków Street and ks. Domańskiego Street. In the eastern side, there are preserved historic houses with their ground floors that are used as commercial premises. One of them houses a bakery, and there are shops in the others. In the south side, there is St Nicholas's Church - the place has been the location of subsequent parish churches since the beginnings of the town.  However, the town hall building was initially built in the middle of the market square, and it took place probably in the seventeenth century. This wooden building burnt in 1841 and then the function of a town hall was devolved to one of the brick buildings in the side of the square. Apparently, however, it was in poor repair, because it was necessary to demolish it. It took place in 1888. In place of this building a new one was erected by the design of Albert Schur, a teacher of the local building school. A new town hall, built with neo-Renaissance and neoclassical forms, was opened on 1st November 1 1890. In the early twentieth century, a balcony above the main entrance was added, and a new wing from the side of ks. Domańskiego, was built i 1936-37. A new entrance from Kilińszczaków Street was also made then, and the appearance and illumination of the attic was changed.
Today, the building consists of three parts: the main body and two wings, the left one being a kind of risalit. The building is topped with a sloping roof with windows and a tower with the date of completion of construction on it, i.e. 1890. The building has rich architectural ornaments - cornices running along the facades, elaborate window finials, profiled jambs, bossage.
The individual parts have varied window design: the windows on the first floor in the risalit are topped by a wide profiled entablature, their sides are covered with pilasters with the heads in the Ionic order, and the windows in the main part have a simple cornice supported by three ornamented corbels, and their finials are supplemented by flat arches profiled in plastering. An interesting architectural element is the decorative corner bay window, what is noteworthy is the delicate carving of the middle window, and decorative corbels supporting bay windows.
Inside the building, the auditorium (the today's session room) is particularly interesting, where a wooden beamed ceiling with decorative polychrome has been preserved.
