Palace in Bejsce, Neoclassical palace in Bejsce, Poland

The Palace in Bejsce is a classicist palace built in 1802 to Jakub Kubicki's design, set on a slope falling south with its front facing north. It is a two-storey rectangular building on massive vaulted cellars, with a recessed entrance portico of four Tuscan columns and a plain triangular pediment. The portico frieze carries the inscription "Praca nadała spoczynek". The garden side has a three-sided projection enclosing a circular two-storey salon, with an artificial grotto of boulders beneath a narrow terrace.

Architect Jakub Kubicki designed and built this palace in 1802 for Marcin Badeni, Minister of Justice in the Duchy of Warsaw and Congress Poland. The project emerged during a time of major political transformation in the region.

The palace houses a state social welfare home, operating since 1956 and renamed in 1972. Earlier, from 1947 to 1952, Sisters of the Sacred Heart from Kraków cared for the elderly here. The historic rooms, including the oval salon and studies decorated with chiaroscuro paintings, can be visited.

The palace currently operates as a nursing home serving the local community and is registered as a protected monument. Visitors should check in advance about access conditions since its present use may affect visiting opportunities.

The chimney block above the roof, several flues joined by screen walls, is a hallmark of Kubicki's work; he used an almost identical solution twenty years later at Warsaw's Belweder. The garden side also has an artificial grotto of rough boulders supporting a narrow terrace.
