Old brick church.
Palace
Wooden church
A nice autumn day, sunny, cool and much too nice to stay inside so we decided to take a trip to Brody. It's in my book of 964 palaces and manor houses in Wielkopolska but not one we had seen yet. We were influenced by our friend, Zbyszek, who acted as a translator at this place a few weeks ago and then told us about it.
It's located in the small village of Brody, not on any main road but with the help of maps and my obsessive need to see these places we were able to find it. It's southwest of Poznań about 30 km so not too far away. Following the map, taking a few wrong roads and turning around, I was able to find it and it was worth the effort.
The place is, of course, surrounded by a brick wall with a metal gate at the entrance. We couldn't drive into it but the walkway gate was opened so we parked on the street, took the camera and first went to see the wooden church that stands next to the palace. As with many of the old wooden churches, the outside wood is almost black in color and usually locked. We were fortunate that this one was not and were able to go inside to take some pictures. I have still not mastered my camera for taking pictures in dark areas so they did not turn out so bright and do not give justice to the inside of the church and the woodwork.
Outside the church were a few monuments or places for prayer. Between the palace and church is a stone wall.
The palace itself was constructed for Paul von Pflug, a person of German descent, in 1910. It's a neo-renaissance style. Orginally it had 1500 hectares surrounding it but now, of course, the property is much smaller. The last member of the family to own it was Emil von Pflug in 1939. Now it is owned by the University of Natural Sciences.. It is currently being lived in by one of the University administrators and is used for conferences.
Across the street from the palace is a beautiful old brick church. It's gate was closed but I was able to sneek through the bushes that surround it and take pictures of it and the funerial monument to Emil von Pflug.

Miły dzień jesieni , słoneczny, chłodny i dużo zbyt miły by pozostać wewnątrz tak nas zdecydował się wybrać się w podróż do Brody. To jest w mojej książce 964 pałaców i dworków w Wielkopolsce ale nie jedna zobaczyliśmy jeszcze. Byliśmy wpłynięci przez naszego przyjaciela, Zbyszek, który działał jako tłumacza przy tym miejscu kilka tygodni temu i wtedy powiedział nam o tym.
To zlokalizowało w małej wsi Brody, nie na jakiejkolwiek drodze głównej ale z pomocą map i mój obsesyjny potrzebuje zobaczyć te miejsca, które mogliśmy znaleźć to. To jest południowo-zachodnie Poznań około 30 km tak nie zbyt daleko. Chodzenie za mapą, biorąc kilka złych dróg i obrócenie dookoła, mogłem znaleźć to i to było warte wysiłku.
Miejsce jest, oczywiście, otoczone przez mur z cegły z bramą metalu przy wejściu. Nie moglibyśmy popędzić do tego ale brama przejścia była otwarta tak zaparkowaliśmy na ulicy, wzięliśmy aparat fotograficzny i po pierwsze poszliśmy zobaczyć drewniany kościół, który stoi obok pałacu. Jak z wieloma ze starych drewnianych kościołów, zewnętrzny las jest prawie czarny w kolorze i zwykle zamykał na klucz się. Byliśmy szczęśliwi, że tym jeden nie był i mógł pójść wewnątrz by zrobić kilka zdjęć. Jeszcze nie opanowałem mój aparat fotograficzny dla brania zdjęć w ciemnych obszarach tak oni nie okazali się tak jasno i nie dają sprawiedliwości wewnątrz kościoła i wyrobów z drewna.
Na zewnątrz kościoła były kilka pomników albo miejsca dla modlitwy. Między pałacem a kościół jest kamienna ściana.
Pałac sam był zbudowany dla Paula von Pflug, osoba niemieckiego pochodzenia, w 1910. To jest neo odrodzenia styl. Pierwotnie to miało 1500 hektarów otaczające to ale teraz, oczywiście, własność jest dużo mniejsza. Ostatni członek rodziny do własnego to było Emil von Pflug w 1939. To aktualnie jest żyte w przez jednym z administratorów Uniwersytetu i jest używane dla konferencji
.
Poprzez ulicę od pałacu jest piękny stary kościół cegły. To jest brama była zamknięta ale byłem zdolny do sneek przez krzaki, które otaczają to i zrobią zdjęcia tego i funerial pomnika do Emila von Pflug.

Nice pictures, but you are not satisfied. A suggestion. See if your camera will allow you to over or under expose the image. If so, for the dark areas, you want to over-expose a bit so there is a longer time for the light to enter. Thus you may still be able to take photos without having to use the flash and be more obstrutive in some settings.
