Branice, Historical district in eastern Kraków, Poland

Located in the XVIII New Huta District, Branice extends over 371 hectares and features a combination of residential areas and industrial developments.

First documented in 1250, Branice was owned by the Świebodzice-Gryfici family, whose descendants later adopted the name Branickich and controlled the estate until the late 18th century.

The Renaissance manor house from 1603 now functions as an archaeological museum displaying numerous artifacts discovered in the Nowa Huta region.

The northern section of Branice contains a subzone of the Kraków Technology Park, which provides economic opportunities and industrial development spaces.

During World War II, the palace in Branice served as a hiding place for Polish pianist Halina Czerny-Stefańska.
