Old Potocki Palace in Krzeszowice, 19th-century aristocratic palace in Krzeszowice, Poland.

The palace features four corner towers, a two-story main building, additional wings enclosing a courtyard, and an octagonal orangery connected to the structure.

Construction of the palace took place from 1850 to 1857 under Adam Józef Potocki, following designs by architect Franciszek Maria Lanci inspired by Italian architecture.

The interior spaces contained extensive collections of paintings, sculptures, and artistic works gathered by the Potocki family before World War II.

The palace stands at the highest point of the local park near Ogrodowa Street in the western section of Krzeszowice, covering an area of 12 hectares.

Hans Frank, governor general of occupied Poland during World War II, modified the palace interior by adding a central staircase during his residence.
