Potocki Palace in Krzeszowice, Palace in Krzeszowice, Poland

The symmetrical palace features a central two-story building with four corner towers and additional wings enclosing an internal courtyard.

Construction of the palace took place between 1850 and 1857 under the supervision of architect Franciszek Maria Lanci for the Potocki family.

The interior contained valuable furniture from Gdansk, stucco decorations in the ballroom, and an extensive collection of paintings and sculptures.

The palace stands within a 12-hectare park featuring English garden design elements and various tree species arranged around cleared viewing areas.

Hans Frank, the Nazi Governor-General of occupied Poland, converted the palace into his summer residence in 1940, adding a central staircase.
