Palace in Pogrzebień, Renaissance Revival palace in Pogrzebień, Poland.
The Palace in Pogrzebień is a three-story building with Italian villa elements and white marble stairs, designed in Neo-Renaissance style. The architecture displays characteristic features of this period throughout the structure.
The building changed hands multiple times, including the Larisch family, whose daughter married poet Joseph von Eichendorff in 1815. This connection links the estate to the region's literary history.
During World War II, the building served as Polenlager 82, later becoming a concentration camp for 220 children separated from their parents.
The building is located in a rural area and is accessible to visitors, though it is managed by a religious community. Plan a visit in the morning or afternoon when it is best for viewing.
Near the palace grows one of Poland's largest ash trees, with a trunk circumference exceeding 5 meters. This remarkable tree is among the oldest and most imposing of its kind in the country.
