Galiny Palace
The history of the landed estate in Galiny, in the northern part of the Warmia-Masuria Province, some 10 km from Bartoszyce, dates back to the middle ages. The first information about Galiny comes from the year 1336. The Great Master of the Order of the Teutonic Knights Heinrich Reuss von Plauen granted in 1846 lands situated in the region inhabited by the Galind tribe in exchange for services to the knight Wend Illebug from Saxony. At the time a small masonry church from the mid XIV century stood in Galiny, occupying a total area of 114 włóka /a land measure from the middle ages, one włóka is approximately 17,8 ha/. Ancestors of the Eulenburg family settled in Galiny, Wicken and Sątoczno, from where they moved to Prosna.
In 1709 the Eulenburgs (one of the oldest and largest noble families in the region) received the titled of baron in recognition of services, and later in 1786 the title of lord. Coming from Galiny, Gottfried Heinrich zu Eulenburg adopted Catholicism after the tragic death of his wife and child, became a Warmia canon and then funded the chapel in Frombork and Wozławki.
Towards the end of the II WW the Eulenburgs were forced to flee and leave their estate. So ended their living on these lands that had endured uninterruptedly since the middle ages, or nearly 500 years. Soon after the end of the war and the takeover of the entire estate by the state treasury, the property slowly fell into ruin and for the next fifty years, despite numerous attempts to rescue it, it was completely destroyed. Only in 1995, at the efforts of the new owners, did thorough renovations begin, the results of which are visible at every step.
