Szczepowice: Palace, Manor Farm and Park

Szczepowice has a distinct cultural character shaped by its palace, historic manor farm complex and large park. Pałac Szczepowice combines romantic Neo-Baroque architecture with a six-hectare park; the restaurant also serves Polish home-style cooking, regional dishes and a buffet. The different heritage register entries and the events on offer also shape the character of the place. This gives you several perspectives to consider when planning your trip: history, relaxation, dining and events.

Palace and manor farm: several historical periods

As of 31 December 2025, the heritage register lists the palace in Szczepowice as a building dating from 1909. Its register number is 2337/A, and it was entered on 27 January 1995. The manor farm complex is also listed in the register, under number 136/Wlkp/A, with an entry date of 11 June 2003. The estate manager’s building in the complex is dated 1870 and 1911; the manor farm complex’s distillery dates from the late 19th century.

The register entry dates the park to the second half of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th century. Its register number is 1986/A, and it was entered on 21 December 1984. These dates refer to different entries and parts of the complex, so a single date cannot capture the historical periods of the palace, estate manager’s building, distillery and park. Those interested in architectural history will therefore find several specific historical reference points, rather than just one date.

Neo-Baroque architecture and the park offer distinct highlights

Pałac Szczepowice features romantic Neo-Baroque architecture. The term Neo-Baroque refers to a later revival of Baroque forms, adding an architectural perspective to the historical context. The park surrounds the palace, covers six hectares and has a distinctive microclimate. It offers relaxation for those seeking peace and a chance to unwind. The architecture and heritage history thus provide a different focus from the park: when planning your trip, you can decide which of these themes you would like to put first.

Regional cuisine and events

The restaurant at Pałac Szczepowice serves Polish home-style cooking, regional dishes and a buffet. This gives dining a concrete place alongside the architectural history and the park. The restaurant can also host private celebrations, including weddings. Conferences, training sessions, family celebrations, team-building events and outdoor events are also organised at the palace. The restaurant and event facilities cater to different interests, from regional cuisine and private occasions to professional or community events. If you are planning a visit for a particular menu or event, check the latest details in advance.

Choose the right focus for your trip

When looking for a holiday apartment in Szczepowice, it helps to first decide what you want your trip to be about. If you are particularly interested in architecture and heritage history, the palace and its historical periods can be the focus of your plans. If relaxation is your priority, the park and its distinctive microclimate offer another point of interest; regional dishes make dining a third theme. These interests can help you clarify what you want from your stay before looking at individual accommodation options. Then check the specific details of the available options and decide which best suits your plans.
