Rogalin

Rogalin is a village near Poznań that features a two-story baroque palace with symmetrical wings connected by curved galleries that form a courtyard. The estate sits within an English landscape park containing mature trees and open grounds.

The Raczyński family built the palace during the 18th century, establishing Rogalin as a center of Polish aristocratic life. The estate later became an important gathering place for the nobility and developed its cultural significance.

The art gallery within the palace displays works by Polish and European artists from the 19th and 20th centuries, including a large-scale painting by Jan Matejko depicting Joan of Arc. Visitors can explore these paintings displayed throughout the palace rooms.

Rogalin can be reached by bus from Poznań, with direct services on Saturdays or a combination of train to Mosina followed by bus 699 on weekdays. Plan to spend several hours to explore both the palace buildings and the surrounding park grounds.

Three protected ancient oak trees in the English park are named Lech, Czech, and Rus, representing the founding nations of Poland, the Czech Republic, and Russia. These trees stand as a rare example of symbolic planting that expresses historical connections between these nations.
