À propos du parcours

The route starts in the palace, built in 1770-1776 by Kazimierz Raczyński and remodelled by later generations. From the main block it leads to the northern wing, where the London study of Edward Bernard Raczyński, the last male member of the Greater Poland line of the family, has been recreated.

It then goes down to the picture gallery of 1910, set below the southern wing, with Edward Aleksander's collection and Jan Matejko's "The Maid of Orléans". The next stops are the rococo garden with the Parnassus mound and the romantic park with the oaks Lech, Czech and Rus.

The final stop is outside the church-mausoleum, built in 1817-1820. Its classically inspired façade brings this walk through the family’s history to a close. Entering the church and crypt is an optional extension, available during the parish’s visiting hours; otherwise the route ends outside.
