Dzialynski Palace, Baroque palace in Śródmieście, Poland.
Dzialynski Palace is a baroque building with classicist features constructed between 1773 and 1776. The interiors impress with elaborate stucco work, sculptures, and wall decorations, particularly in the Red Hall with its rich architectural ornamentation.
The Działyński family commissioned the building in the 1770s and established it as a center of political life in Poznań. The palace later transitioned to house significant scholarly collections and cultural institutions.
The palace served as the residence of the influential Działyński family and remains a symbol of the city's intellectual tradition today. Its rooms host scholarly gatherings and lectures, making the connection between past prominence and present-day academic life visible to visitors.
The palace is located in central Poznań and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors can explore the rooms and learn about the history and current work of the library and research institutions housed here.
The palace houses the Kórnik Library, one of Poland's most important book collections with materials dating back to the Middle Ages. This hidden collection transforms the building into far more than a beautiful structure - it gives it scholarly depth.
