Where Pałac Polanka is
Pałac Polanka stands in Polanka, a district of Krosno. The city’s heritage-care programme identifies the palace-and-park complex as a registered heritage site under number A-130, dated 16 January 1989. For a broader orientation, the practical guide to Krosno city centre covers the central area.
The palace and its grounds
The palace’s history spans several stages of building and restoration. The Trzecieski family built a brick, two-storey manor in 1808, after Jan Michał Trzecieski bought Polanka in 1803. Wiktor Klobassa became owner of the estate in 1887 and built a two-storey palace drawing on Neo-Gothic architecture. Rafał Prynca purchased the palace-and-park complex in 2006 and undertook its restoration.
The hotel describes the surrounding park as an English-style landscape garden with Romantic elements, covering approximately 3 hectares. It probably dates from the 1840s, when Tytus Trzecieski owned the estate. Old trees and elongated ponds—formed by raising water on a nearby stream—are among its features.
According to the hotel’s account, poet and traveller Wincenty Pol helped design the garden. A small cottage called Kabanka was built for him there.
The restaurant offers views of the park and its old trees; a separate conference-centre building also stands beside the palace. Details about the Polanka Conference Center in Krosno can help if you are visiting for an event.
