The von Schroeder Family Palace

The palace in Lubiana was built in 1900 by the von Schroeder family. It is an eclectic building, adorned with projections. Its architectural form reflects new trends in residential architecture from the early 20th century. 

The palace is a fairly large building, measuring 408 m in length, 173 m in width, and 145 m in height. The mansion is built on a floor plan consisting of three intersecting rectangles. The building’s facade faces southeast. It is a two-story building with a basement, covered by a hipped roof. The long roof slopes of the main structure feature small dormers covered with gable roofs. The facade is enhanced by projections topped with structurally independent gable roofs. The false projections on the long sides of the facade extend approximately 70 cm beyond the face of the walls. The veranda, situated on a brick plinth, is supported by wooden, ornate columns joined by openwork arcade arches. The entrance to the veranda is located on the residential side. Access to the building is provided by the main entrance and entrances on the long facades. The main door of the building is a double-leaf oak door. The window openings are rectangular frames topped with arches; the ballroom features six-panel windows. The ballroom, with its perfectly preserved interior, deserves special attention.

The palace is a well-maintained building. It is a must-see attraction. The palace is surrounded by a park dating from the second half of the 19th century.

In the 1950s, Lubiana was incorporated into the agricultural facility of the State Breeding Center (POHZ), and in the 1960s, the POHZ headquarters was relocated to Lubiana. In 1994, the facility was transformed into OHZ Lubiana sp. z o.o., and the State Treasury became the owner; the palace continues to house the headquarters.
