Jabłonna Palace, Palace complex in Jabłonna, Poland
Jabłonna Palace is a palace with a single-story central building connected to two three-story pavilions, designed by Domenico Merlini in 1779. The complex now includes 46 guest rooms in adjacent buildings, multiple conference spaces, and a restaurant serving Polish and European cuisine.
Bishop Michał Poniatowski commissioned the palace, which later became a frequent gathering place for his brother, King Stanisław August Poniatowski of Poland. The family used the estate as a cultural and social center during the Enlightenment period.
The palace serves as a venue for art exhibitions and musical performances, allowing visitors to see the original wall paintings in its seven rooms. These decorations reflect 18th-century artistic tastes and shape the experience as you move through the spaces.
The complex is well laid out and visitors can explore the rooms and surrounding grounds easily. It is helpful to check in advance which areas are accessible on your visit, as not all parts are always open to the public.
The surrounding English-style park contains a grotto, an orangerie, and a Chinese pavilion designed by Szymon Bogumił Zug, which shape the estate as a place of Enlightenment artistic experiments. These structures show how garden design and architecture combine to create a unified artistic vision.
