Is owners were the members of the wealthy family of von Larisch. In the first half of the nineteenth century the palace belonged to Alfred von Koschitzki, a known social activist. The building was erected on a rectangular plan. It is made of brick and covered with a mansard roof. Its style refers to late Baroque.
The palace in Kopanin, in the hamlet of Miedary, is one of
numerous residential objects from the nineteenth century in
the province of Tarnowskie Góry. The building was erected
for Barons von Fürstenberg, the then owners of the estate.
Its main part was built in the years 1883-94, and at the turn
of the century the palace was extended. It is a neo-Baroque
construction with a mansard roof. It is decorated with many
avant-corps and turrets with flagon-shaped helmet. At

In the wood between Zbrosławice and Tarnowskie Góry underground waters flow from the tunnel "Frederick" into the so-called distribution station "Frederick", which conveys it, and after a few hundred meters, into the Drama River. The outflow of groundwaters was covered with an interesting brick structure the so-called "Miners Gate " in the early nineteenth century, Part of the "Frederick" is called the "Black Trout Adit", located in the park sanatorium in Repty Śląskie. It is open to the tourists who go in metal boats along a 600-meter stretch of the underground, between the shafts "Eve" and "New Year’s Eve".
The palace Zbrosławice was built by the von Stockman family in the style of late Baroque about 1756. It was probably erected in place of the older buildings from the turn of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In the following centuries, the palace was being rebuilt, and now it mainly represents the Classicist style, but without explicit stylistic features. Today, the dilapidated building is closed and it can be seen only from the outside.
