Branicki Palace in Choroszcz

Branicki Palace sits on an artificial island surrounded by canals and a 25-hectare park with geometric garden designs and water features. The buildings form a cruciform layout with waterways that divide the grounds into different sections.

The palace was built between 1745 and 1764 for Jan Klemens Branicki, a military commander of the Polish Kingdom. It was created as a summer residence for this influential family during the Baroque period.

The Museum of Palace Interiors shows 18th and 19th-century furniture and crafts displayed in restored rooms that reveal how noble families lived. The collections reflect the tastes and habits of wealthy residents through decorative objects and household items from daily life.

The site is accessible on foot from Niepodległości street by turning left at Doctor Zygmunta Brockwicza Square and walking about 250 meters into the grounds. Visitors should plan to spend time exploring both the palace rooms and the surrounding park areas.

The buildings follow a French entre cour et jardin design, a layout style rarely seen in this region of Poland. This arrangement divides the space between inner courtyards and outer garden landscapes in a distinctive way.
