Palace in Baworowo, Palast in Polen
The Palace in Baworowo is a three-story building from around 1800 with a rectangular plan, situated on a large estate with parks and outbuildings. The main facade features a long row of windows with a central section topped by a triangular roof element, while sides are reinforced with decorative vertical features.
Hans von Bissing, a local government official, built the palace around 1800 in the classical style. In the 19th century, it was rebuilt and expanded by his descendants, making it an example of local architecture from that period.
The palace was a symbol of wealth and power for the von Bissing family in the region. Today, its ruins remind visitors of the aristocratic past of Leśna and stories of noble families passed down through generations.
The site is accessible by small roads and although not officially open to the public, many visitors come to see the ruins. The surroundings are quiet, making it possible to walk around and explore the old pathways and foundations on the estate.
The palace was occupied by French soldiers around 1808 and attacked by Russian troops in 1813, with cannons fired at the building. These dramatic moments during the Napoleonic Wars are woven into the local history of the place.
