Manor in Szczurowa, Palace complex in Szczurowa, Poland.

The Manor in Szczurowa, also called the Kępiński Palace, is an eclectic, neo-Gothic palace built 1854–1860. It is a single-storey building on a rectangular plan, rendered and painted white, with a two-storey east riser and gabled roofs covered in tiles. A terrace adjoins the front; stone lion sculptures flank the stairs to the north and east entrances, and the founders' coats of arms, Niesobia and Strzemię, hang above the north door.

The palace was built between 1854 and 1860 for Anastazja and Jan Kępiński of the Niesobia coat of arms, probably to a design by Kraków architect Filip Pokutyński, though some sources name Feliks Księżarski. After Jan's death in 1897 it passed to his nephew Aleksander, whose wife Alojza lost it after World War II under the land reform. From 1945 it housed a school, a health centre and a cultural centre, and it has held the Public Library since.

The palace now houses the Public Library, and its park hosts cultural events such as "Krakowski Wianek". The Kępiński coats of arms, Niesobia and Strzemię, restored above the north door, recall the couple who founded the residence. The former servants' entrance now leads into the library.

The site is best explored on foot and allows you to see how all the buildings are arranged around the property. The surrounding landscape park provides ample space for a leisurely walk across the entire grounds.

The palace was one of only three telephone subscribers in Szczurowa from at least 1932. The last owner, Alojza Kępińska, lost the estate to the post-war land reform and lived until her death in 1959 at the rectory of the parish of St Bartholomew the Apostle.
