What to See

Kobylniki Palace, designed by Zygmunt Gorgolewski, is an impressive 19th-century estate with a central palace, Gothic Revival chapel, and landscaped park. The Twardowski family owned the estate until 1939, after which it was seized by the Germans and later became state property. The palace, initially intended as a grand Northern Renaissance-style residence, underwent several renovations, and today, it remains a significant architectural and historical site in Poland.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Kobylniki’s Palace is during spring or early autumn when the weather is mild, and the gardens are in full bloom. Summers can be pleasant, though it might get a bit crowded. Early mornings or late afternoons are ideal for a peaceful experience.

Kobylniki Palace is a private home, so it’s usually not open to the public, and therefore access is limited. However, it’s worth checking with local tourism offices or property owners—sometimes they have special events or occasional visits!
