Palace in Zbrosławice, Classical palace in Zbrosławice, Poland.
Palace in Zbrosławice is a two-storey, plastered building on a rectangular plan with an attached coach house, built of stone and brick in the late Baroque style and later remodelled in the classical style. It has a mansard roof, a basement with barrel vaults with lunettes, and is surrounded by remnants of a park with black poplar and farm buildings including a granary from the first half of the 19th century.
The palace was built around 1756 by the von Stockmann family, possibly on the site of an older 16th- or 17th-century building. It later passed to the State Treasury and was used by the Zbrosławice municipality for a production cooperative, then converted into communal flats. In 1998 Tadeusz Iwańczuk received it as compensation for property lost beyond the Bug, and around 2016 it changed owner again.
The design reflects how local craftsmen adapted classical ideas to regional tastes through carefully placed stonework and proportioned details. Walking around the building, you notice how architectural choices show the mixing of different building traditions in this part of Silesia.
Access to the grounds requires advance permission from the owner or local authorities before your visit. The site offers limited facilities, so it is best to plan for an outdoor walk on solid ground during dry conditions.
The palace stands on the site of an older 16th- or 17th-century building, which the von Stockmann family replaced around 1756. In the basement, barrel vaults with lunettes survive from the earlier structure. A carriage house adjoins the palace, and a granary from the first half of the 19th century remains among the farm buildings.
