Konopków Palace in Wieliczka, 18th-century palace in Wieliczka, Poland

The palace stands on an elevated terrace with wide western stairs, featuring symmetrical facades and a broken Polish-style roof with projecting central sections.

Brothers Jan and Piotr Konopka, shareholders of the Commercial Salt Company, constructed the palace in the 1780s and later sold it to the Higher Salt Office.

The palace walls display a memorial plaque dedicated to Janusz Kurtyka, president of the Institute of National Remembrance, who died in the 2010 Smolensk air disaster.

The building now serves as headquarters for the Krakow branch of the Institute of National Remembrance, with a 1000-square-meter storage facility under its terrace.

The corners of the building feature rustication, while the western and southern windows showcase decorative lion heads and acanthus leaf ornaments.
