Pałac w Młochowie, Manor house in Młochów, Poland
Pałac w Młochowie is a classical manor house from the early 19th century in Młochów, Poland. The two-story main building has Doric columned porticos on both sides, and the grounds include two pavilions, a greenhouse, and a park with walking paths and old trees.
The site has been inhabited since the 15th century and passed through several noble families over three centuries, including the Sobolewscy and the Kwileccy. In the early 20th century the estate passed to the Radziwiłł family before being damaged by Russian troops during the First World War.
In the grounds of the estate stands a chapel dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel, now run by the Michaelite priests as an active parish church. Visitors walking through the park can stop inside and see how religious life continues alongside the historic buildings.
The park is freely accessible and works well for a walk along the old tree-lined paths and around the small pond on the grounds. The different buildings and the chapel are connected by footpaths, so the whole estate is easy to explore on foot.
The manor was designed by Jakub Kubicki, the same architect who redesigned the Belvedere Palace in Warsaw. The porticos on the facade look like main entrances from the outside, but the actual entry to the building is on the side, giving the layout an unexpected quality.
