Where is Pałac w Krzeczynie Małym?
The palace stands at the western edge of Krzeczyn Mały, beside the road from Lubin to Chocianów. The heritage record gives its address as Krzeczyn Mały 35, in Gmina Lubin, Lubin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship.
This setting makes the palace a recognisable landmark in the village rather than a site in central Lubin. If you are planning a broader palace-themed outing, Pałac w Chróstniku is another historic site covered in a guide from Lubin.
What can you verify about the palace?
The palace’s visible exterior is described as a two-storey Baroque building with a mansard roof, dormers, a sandstone entrance portal and a cartouche bearing coats of arms.
The National Heritage Institute’s Zabytek.pl record dates the present palace to 1724, probably on the site of an earlier residence. The Gmina Lubin says the first mention of a castle or manor at the site dates to 1356, though its original form is unknown.
The estate’s owner when the palace was built was Ursula Katharina von Schweinitz. Above the main portal, the cartouche carries her coat of arms, her husband Jan Oswald von Sack’s coat of arms and the date 1724.
The Gmina Lubin describes a major rebuilding by the von Schweinitz family in 1776, followed by restoration in 1885 and 1926. Beside the palace, a Baroque granary built in 1763 survives as the oldest remaining farm building in the complex. The palace and park are recorded in the Lower Silesian immovable monuments register, as is a linden avenue.
For another local palace with its own history and practical considerations, Pałac Miroszowice near Lubin offers a separate point of comparison.
How should you plan access respectfully?
Confirm that visitors are currently permitted before approaching the palace or its grounds. The available heritage record describes the palace as privately owned and inaccessible, but that record is dated, so it should not be treated as confirmation of present-day access.
The Gmina Lubin does not provide visitor hours, ticket prices, tour arrangements or a booking method on its palace page. Contact the municipality to ask about current access, and check the official site before you go. Do not assume that the palace interior or park is open to the public.
How do you get from Lubin to Krzeczyn Mały?
From Villa Cuprum, a hotel in Lubin, the palace is about 19 minutes away by car. The Gmina Lubin places it beside the road from Lubin to Chocianów, but current route details and public-transport service to Krzeczyn Mały are not confirmed here. Check the route and your options before travelling.
If you plan to visit, make confirming access your first step; then arrange transport around the location on the village’s western edge. For current visitor arrangements, contact Gmina Lubin.
