Palace

The palace in Klępczewo dates from the second half of the 19th century and was expanded after 1900. The palace is in the Late Classicist style. Construction took place in two phases. The first phase involved the main rectangular section of the palace, and the second phase involved the addition of a nearly square section on the north side. The palace was built of brick on a foundation of fieldstone. It was constructed on a rectangular plan. It is a two-story building with a basement. The front facade features a two-story projection topped with a triangular gable. The garden facade features a veranda. The projection on the south side houses a staircase. The building has a hipped roof in the older section and a gable roof in the newer section. The roofs are covered with metal roofing tiles, which replaced the original Dutch ceramic roof tiles. The palace’s windows have rectangular tops and are adorned with cornices. Basement windows are located in the foundation. All facades of the building are adorned with cornices. The entrance to the palace is modest and topped with an arch. There are pilasters on both sides of the entrance. The building’s volume is approximately 5,550^m³, and its total floor area is approximately 590^m². After the war, the palace housed, among other things, a school. Later, it was converted into staff housing for employees of the State Agricultural Farm. Currently, the palace is owned by several private individuals who form a housing community. The palace is surrounded by a park dating from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. The park covers an area of approximately 10 ha and features an interesting mix of trees, including red oaks, firs, and Douglas firs. Visitors are welcome to enter the palace grounds and park to explore them.
