Pałac Sroczyńskich w Jaśle, Eclectic palace in Jasło, Poland

The Sroczyński Palace is an eclectic palace in Jasło, set on a low rise with its façade facing east. Its plan was retained in the late 19th-century rebuild, but the interiors and elevations were remodelled; the most representative rooms were the hall and the enfilade facing the park, including a card room with a tower-shaped tiled stove, a dining room, red and white salons, and a drawing room opening onto the terrace. The ceiling stuccowork alternates the initials T and S.

A 1629 tax record of the Crown estates describes a new fortified manor at Gorajowice built by the Jasło starosta, with a gate tower, drawbridge and ramparts. Around 1896 Tadeusz Sroczyński bought the estate and had Tadeusz Stryjeński remodel it, keeping the plan but reworking the interiors and the park. Russian troops destroyed the complex in 1915 during the Gorlice campaign, and the interiors were never fully restored.

The palace was the childhood home of Major Henryk Dobrzański, born in 1897 and baptised with Tadeusz Sroczyński as his godfather. The stucco on the ceilings carries alternating letters T and S, the initials of Tadeusz Sroczyński, a detail a visitor can still spot.

The building now serves as a Medical and Social Center for Vocational and Continuing Education located in the northeastern area of Jasło. Plan your visit by checking ahead about accessibility and any restrictions on viewing the interior or exterior.

The stucco on the ceilings carries the alternating initials T and S, for Tadeusz Sroczyński, who bought Gorajowice around 1896 and commissioned the rebuilding. The authors of the stucco were probably Z. Hendel and Franciszek Mączyński. Look up at the ceiling edges to find the letters.
