Palace

The palace in Rzepczyn was founded in the mid-19th century and expanded in the 20th century. Originally, the central section, the east wing, half of the south wing, and the tower were built. Subsequently, in 1930, the north wing and the second half of the south wing were added. After World War I, the palace served as a hospital. It was built of brick on brick-and-stone foundations. The palace has an irregular shape based on rectangles. All parts of the building consist of two bays. The central part of the palace is a single-story structure with a gable-roofed, pedimented roof. The north wing has two stories and a usable attic; it is covered by a steep gable roof. The south wing also has two stories and is covered by a flattened gable roof. The southern facade features a two-story veranda. A four-sided tower was built in the southern wing. The western facade features a small porch supported by pillars, accessed by a staircase. The palace has a volume of 10,063^m³ and a usable area of 1,017^m². The palace is enclosed by a fence. In 2007, the Salesian Youth Educational Center was established in the palace. It is a rehabilitation facility for at-risk youth. A landscaped park and a chapel are located near the palace. Tours of the palace are possible only by prior arrangement with the center’s administration.
