It is claimed that the palace in Chałupki is a former Bogumińska fortress, erected in the middle of the 13th century. At the time it belonged to the knight Baruth. It was mentioned in writing in 1373 as property of the dukes of Racibórz. There were many other owners, for example the Hohenzollern, Donnersmarck and Rothschild (known Jewish bankers) families. In 1682 this fortress was made into a Baroque palace. Today it hauses a hotel and a restaurant.
