Zespół pałacowo-parkowy w Radziejowicach
The palace complex in Radziejowice is a classicist ensemble featuring the main palace, a neo-gothic tower, and other historic structures, surrounded by a 26-hectare English-style park. The estate developed over several centuries starting from the 16th century, showcasing different architectural styles layered throughout time.
The estate began with a defensive structure from the 15th century and was expanded by successive owners over time, especially in the 19th century under classical influence. During World War II it suffered damage, then was restored afterward as a cultural institution and has served since as an artist residence and cultural center.
The palace complex has long attracted artists, writers, and creative figures who found inspiration in its surroundings and artistic gatherings. Today, it serves as a place where visitors can experience history through its preserved buildings and feel connected to the cultural life that once flourished here.
The park and outdoor areas are freely accessible year-round with well-maintained paths for walking and exploring. Visitors should check ahead for access to interior spaces, as some buildings may have limited availability depending on events and renovation work.
Though occupied by military forces during wartime and later used as a film location, the estate retained its architectural layers and continues to attract filmmakers today for its cinematic appeal. This dual role as both a witness to history and a modern film set makes it an unusual destination for those interested in cultural heritage and cinema.
