I came to Wolsztyn via The Wolsztyn Experience. The roundhouse contains a few locomotives that are in running condition or are being overhauled and outside are a collection that will probably never run again but are still interesting to view. They run frequent trains to Leszno and Poznan using steam. The carriages are clean and bright and tickets can be purchased onboard. Regarding the 2* review that moaned about being sold items by ‘so-called drivers’, I can say that they are indeed drivers and they are merely subsidising their relatively low income by selling souvenirs; why not? If you would like a more ‘hands on’ time with the locomotives here in Wolsztyn, google The Wolsztyn Experience. It is highly recommended for any steam fan.

The palace in Rogalin was built in the years 1770-1776 for Kazimierz Raczyński, a royal writer, and then the staroste general of Greater Poland and the royal court marshal. The interiors of this late-baroque-classicist residence host a museum, focused on the history of the Raczyński aristocratic family. Behind the palace extends a French garden closing with a mound, from which formerly stretched the view in the direction of the Warta River. Surrounded by picturesque gardens and park land, the Palace of Rogalin is one of the most significant examples of Baroque architecture in Poland. In this 18th-century palace located 30 km south of Poznan you can also see the "London Cabinet" , which is full of tokens of remembrance : old furniture, family photos, London address book with the hand-written telephone number of Winston Churchill and many others taken from London, 8 Lennox Gardens, where Edward Bernard Raczynski, President of the Republic of Poland in Exile spent 26 years of his life. The exhibition also includes a coach house and Painting Gallery. The painting gallery located in the building from 1910 contains collections collected for forty years by Edward Raczyński . The gallery has in its collections the works of such artists as: Olga Boznanska, Julian Falat, Aleksander Gierymski, Jacek Malczewski , Jan Matejko , Leon Wyczolkowski, Stanisław Wyspianski, Albert Besnard, Maurice Chabas, and Paul Delaroche. After exploring the glorious gallery you can walk through the Palace’s landscaped park . It is one of Europe’s largest oak groups. Many of the trees are several hundred years old. The most famous three, however, of amazing circumferences, are those named after the legendary Slavic brothers. Those are Lech , Czech and Rus . The tour in the Palace interiors can be accompanied by a rented audio guide . The number of tickets for the day is limited. A beautiful place, a friendly staff. A very pleasant place for a family walk. Nearby there are quite a few parking spaces, both paid and free. Definitely worth visiting.

Citadel park is a beautiful, peaceful park which includes a Military museum (including tanks, land & amphibious craft, rockets & planes). Wander around the 3 cemeteries (Polish, Russian & Commonwealth) in amongst the trees and loads of friendly Red Squirrels.
