Będlewo Palace, Gothic Revival palace in Będlewo, Poland.
Bedlewo Palace is a Gothic Revival structure dating from 1866, situated within nine hectares of landscaped grounds that feature three ponds, a grotto, and a marble fountain. The complex includes three main buildings with 75 guest rooms, four conference rooms accommodating up to 390 people, and a restaurant offering regional Polish cuisine.
The palace was built in 1866 by Bolesław Potocki and remained in the hands of Polish aristocratic families until 1907. After World War II, it served as an agricultural school before being transformed into a research center.
The palace now serves the Polish Academy of Sciences as a center for mathematical research, drawing scholars from across the globe for conferences and collaborative work. This role has given the location a distinct place within the international academic community.
The grounds are accessible and offer various accommodation options for visitors attending conferences or events. Guest rooms are distributed across multiple buildings around the main palace, and the site is easy to navigate, though the nine-hectare expanse requires time to explore fully.
The second floor and basement underwent major renovation in 1997 under Professor Bojarski's direction to create spaces for mathematical research while preserving the historic exterior. This transformation shows how modern scientific work can happen within historic walls without affecting the original appearance.
