Palace in Zakrzewo, Palace on Polish heritage register in Zakrzewo, Poland

The Palace in Zakrzewo is a manor house in Gniezno County that displays traditional Polish architectural forms. The building features a distinctive facade with classical elements typical of noble residences from this era.

The palace was built in 1870 (or 1871)–1872 by Count Albin Belina Węsierski, owner of Zakrzewo, together with the Gniezno builder Ludwik Ballenstaedt. They had travelled to an exhibition in Paris and, on their return, replaced the old manor with the present palace. In 1945 it was looted, then used for children's summer camps of the Cegielski works; in 1978 the state farm PGR Rybno Wielkie took it over.

The palace stands on the route of palaces and manor houses of Gniezno County. Its name comes from the village of Zakrzewo, and the estate belonged to the Belina Węsierski family, who built the residence. The Chełmicki family owned it until 1939. After 1945 it served as a holiday colony for children of the Cegielski works, later as a training centre where Margaret Thatcher and Irish president Mary Robinson were guests.

The palace stands in Zakrzewo, in Gniezno County in Wielkopolska, and is listed on the Gniezno County palace and manor route. Behind the building lies a 16-hectare landscape park with a pond in its middle part and a stream; the neo-Gothic outbuilding and the former coach house stand next to the palace.

The 16-hectare landscape park behind the palace predates the building itself. It was laid out by Augustyn Denizot, a gardener brought from France, who stayed in Wielkopolska and founded nurseries and designed parks in Uzarzewo, Kopaszewo and Morownica. A pond sits in the centre, fed by a stream.
