Palace in Pławowice, Neoclassical palace in Pławowice, Poland

The Palace in Pławowice is a neoclassical structure featuring eight Doric colonnades at both entrances and a four-pitched roof with tall chimneys. The building displays rectangular windows of varying sizes and sits within expansive grounds containing a park and lake system.

The present palace was built in 1804–1805 for Ludwik Felicjan Morstin (1782–1865) of the Leliwa coat of arms, to plans by Jakub Kubicki. A manor with a private chapel stood here earlier, and a plan of the palace-and-park layout was drawn up in 1776. In 1886 Tadeusz Stryjeński added the south wing. The Morstin family owned the estate until 1945.

The chapel stands in the park, not inside the palace, and predates it: it was built in 1802 on a square plan and is surrounded by old lindens and maples. The palace hosted congresses of Polish poets in 1928 and 1929, and a third such meeting took place on 23–24 June 2006.

The palace stands in Pławowice, Nowe Brzesko commune, Proszowice County, with the park sloping gently east toward the Szreniawa valley. The complex includes a landscape park with a large pond holding an island, plus fish ponds linked by dikes. The chapel, older than the palace, is surrounded by old lindens and maples.

The entrance gate was flanked by sculptures of two lions; the originals now stand at the town hall tower in Kraków, and copies face the palace. The south wing was added in 1886 to a design by Tadeusz Stryjeński. In 1928 and 1929 the owner Ludwik Hieronim Morstin hosted gatherings of leading Polish poets of the interwar years.
