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.

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 .

A very pleasant place for a family walk. Nearby there are quite a few parking spaces, both paid and free. Definitely worth visiting.

Beautiful grounds to wander around. The French Renaissance style Castle is stunning both from the outside and also the decor inside. There is a really interesting forestry museum and a natural history museum which is ideal for kids. Finally there is a small wildlife park which includes Reindeer, Bison, Wild Boar and traditional Polish Konik horses.

The history of the castle dates back to the first half of the fifteenth century, and its current form we owe to Tytus Działyński and reconstruction from the mid-nineteenth century in the style of English neo gothic. The castle is located near Lake Kórnicki, on an island surrounded by a moat.A great castle with a good collection of artifacts. Inside are beautiful floor spread out over different rooms. Walking inside the castle will take about one hour. The architecture is spectacular. Maybe it is not the most beautiful castle you will visit, but after your visit you will be very glad you have done so.Kórnik Castle is worth visiting especially for the arboretum, which is one of the largest in Europe, with over 3300 species of trees and shrubs in a seemingly endless expanse of space. You could lose yourself in the acres and acres of magnificent trees and complete peace. You could spend hours and not see it all, and it is amazingly beautiful . It is breathtaking. It's recommended to visit the garden in spring or autumn.There is a parking space right in front of the castle.

Located close to the old market square, the Royal Castle in Poznan is on the sightseeing route of the city, but it deserves a special visit, free admission on Tuesdays. Its construction first started in the mid-13th century and the medieval style building has a rich historical value. Thoroughly reconstructed during 2002-2014, the Castle now holds a Museum of Applied Arts. The well-organized expositions at the Museum, including art, ceramics, furniture, fabrics, weaponry and clothing from around the world, are illustrative of the changing trends and styles in visual arts over the centuries. Guided tours, very informative, are like an extended introduction to the history of the arts. Don’t miss the observation deck at the tower as it offers excellent views of the city including the old market square and the landmark Poznan Town Hall itself.
