Krokowa Palace, Renaissance castle in Krokowa, Poland.

Krokowa Palace is a castle in Krokowa, Pomeranian Voivodeship, that began as a knight's residence at the end of the 13th century and was later expanded into a small castle with a rampart and moat. At the end of the 16th century it consisted of a two-storey building with corner towers on a 60 by 70 metre site enclosed by a defensive wall. The walls and ramparts were removed in the 17th century, when the main house was extended by two wings and an Italian garden was laid out.

A knight's seat existed at Krokowa from the late 13th century, held by the von Krockow family until 1945. By the late 16th century it was a two-storey castle with corner towers within a 60 by 70 metre wall. In 1782 the estate was auctioned and bought by another branch of the family; Louise von Krockow had the palace remodelled in late Baroque style in 1784.

The Kashubian centre in the palace was founded after 1989 as the Foundation for European Encounters. It organises exhibitions and meetings on Kashubian language and customs, and the former inn by the park hosts changing displays of the West Prussian Regional Museum from Münster.

The palace has housed a hotel and conference centre since its conversion completed in 1994. The park was restored to its original layout and holds a cucumber magnolia, a trumpet tree, a ginkgo and a giant thuja. A former inn by the park hosts changing exhibitions of the West Prussian Regional Museum of Münster.

The Philosophenallee in the palace park is named after Johann Gottlieb Fichte, who was a house tutor at Krockow in 1791/92. The park also holds a notable cucumber magnolia, a trumpet tree, a ginkgo and a giant thuja.
