Pałac Kawalera, Baroque revival palace in Świerklaniec, Poland

Located in a 180-hectare French-style park, the Pałac Kawalera stands as a refined residence with a grand staircase and the Donnersmarck family coat of arms above its entrance.

Built between 1903 and 1906 by architect Ernst von Ihne, this palace served as a guest house for Emperor Wilhelm II during his hunting visits to Świerklaniec.

Swiss president Felix Calonder resided in this palace from 1924 to 1937 while serving as chairman of the Mixed Commission for Upper Silesia.

The palace operates as a restaurant and bistro, with parking available directly at the building or at the main gate entrance to Świerklaniec Park.

The inscription 'Memento vivere' carved on the palace facade encourages visitors to remember about living and enjoying life.
