Starawieś Palace, Gothic Revival palace in Starawieś, Poland.
Starawieś Palace is a Gothic Revival manor registered on the Polish cultural heritage list, located in the village of Starawieś. The building has towers, carved stone details, and decorated windows on its exterior, and it stands within an English-style landscape park.
The palace was built in the 1860s to replace an earlier structure from the 17th century. The new building followed the Gothic Revival trend that was spreading across Europe and Poland at the time.
The palace is a good example of how 19th-century Polish nobility chose to express their taste through Gothic Revival forms. The towers and decorated windows on the facade show a clear preference for theatrical, castle-like appearances over simple residential design.
The estate is located near Węgrów, close to the border between the Masovia and Podlasie regions, making it easy to combine with other stops in either area. The surrounding park allows for a walk around the building without needing to enter it.
The palace sits right at the old boundary between Masovia and Podlasie, two regions with distinct histories and landscapes. This border position gives the surrounding area a mixed character that is still noticeable when you travel through it today.
