Palace formerly belonging to one of the royal families of Poland in the 17th/18th century. Beautiful environments and great collection of artistic pieces gathered by generations of owners. A good couple of hours of immersion into rare beautiful artificats. I recommend to either join a guided tour (unfortunately English one not available often) or get an audio guide to appreciate what you see, otherwise it might be overwhelming and difficult to decipher. Fantastic gardens to chill after the palace. Just FYI, there's the possibility to rent canoes, which might be a great adds up to the visit. Entrance only at given time slots, so get your tickets in advance.
Nicely preserved interior and exterior building. We arrived with no tickets, the the ticket kiosk is outside the building about 100 yd towards the Main Street. We had come in a side street through Uber. Uber. There is one ticket kiosk inside the building down the stairs right across from the backpack check-in area. You can't see it, just walk around and you'll find it. It closes at 4:00 sharp and they start to let you know at 3:40 p.m. And shuttle you out. You view it at two different levels, but you go up and down stairs. When you think you're all finished, there's a whole nother section so be prepared. We're from America and chose the audio that cost 14 pln, well worth the expense. Expense. 70 pln to get in per person. If you're going to read the placards which are in Polish and English along with listening to the audio that is identified by number at each location in the building, I would give yourself at least 3 hours. Try not to go during the week because you're going to get caught up in between school outing tours with noisy kids. We came on a Friday and it was terrible with the kids. There, was not the museum's fault, but there was class after class after class. Definitely good place to visit.
A lovely place with a rich cultural atmosphere, combining diverse art collections with a fascinating history. I highly recommend visiting with an audio guide, especially considering the affordable price. One thing to keep in mind is that the staff may not speak English very fluently, which can make asking for information a bit challenging. Tickets can be purchased both online and from ticket machines on-site, making the process easy and convenient. The audio guide is available only at the location. Overall, a beautiful experience and a wonderful place to explore, both inside and in the gardens.
An absolutely stunning palace! The gardens are breathtaking and you can rent a kayak for 30min at the lake for 10 euros for 2 people! They also have longer options if you would like. The palace itself inside isnt very big but it still has very interesting and pretty rooms so it is very much worth it to go inside.
You have to pay an entrance fee to access the park, and then another ticket to go inside the palace. Overall, it’s a nice place for a walk, but we were expecting a bit more. Considering the entrance fee, the place felt slightly neglected in some areas. From the outside, parts of the palace looked a bit worn, and the gardens didn’t have many flowers, even though we visited at the end of April. That said, it was a peaceful walk overall. The access to the small islands on the river was closed during our visit.
