Ernest Schön Palace in Sosnowiec, Neo-baroque castle in Sosnowiec, Poland.

The four-story palace features ornate stucco decorations depicting oak leaves and fruits, with three corner towers topped by onion-shaped domes.

Built in 1885 by the Schön family, the castle served as a residence until 1985 when it transformed into the Municipal Museum of Sosnowiec.

The palace houses temporary art exhibitions, including photography displays, painting collections, and decorative glasswork from the Zawiercie region.

Visitors can access multiple facilities within the palace complex, including a museum, civil registry office, restaurant, gallery, and café.

The original main facade faced the railway tracks but was relocated to the southern side during the 1940s, replacing a former greenhouse.
