“Dzięki” Palace Complex “Dzięki” Palace Complex

Located on the outskirts of the Staszów municipality, Wiązownica is officially divided into Wiązownica Mała (Little Wiązownica), Wiązownica Duża (Large Wiązownica) and Wiązownica Kolonia (Wiązownica Colony). The first mentions of the village date back to the 13th century.

In Wiązownica Kolonia, you can see the impressive “Dzięki” palace complex from the second half of the 19th century, built by Russian General Vassily Pogodin. The palace, which is a two-storey building with 26 rooms, was converted into forester’s lodge in 1918. It is often called “eclectic”, because the windows on each storey have different shapes, and the palace itself looks slightly different as you look on it from each side. The most interesting architectural solution is the staircase, which is located outside the palace and shaped like a Medieval castle tower. In the living room on the first floor, you can see oriental, arched door frames, rarely seen in the Staszów region.

The massive oak growing near the palace is recognised as a natural monument. The palace complex includes a cellar for storing meats, and a number of utility buildings.
