At the end of the 18th century a palace was erected in the 'heart of a delightful retreat', as Count Frederick Skórzewski used to call his estate. Today it is considered a pearl of Polish Classicism and one of the best preserved residential complexes in Poland. The majestic residence is reminiscent of the Renaissance Villa Rotonda in Vicenza. Its characteristic element is the sculpture of Atlas carrying the globe, crowning the dome of the palace. The decoration of the palace interiors testifies to the great patriotism of its owners. Lubostroń was not only the residential property of the Skórzewski family. It became a mainstay of patriotic thought and national life, a meeting place for people of science and art. It hosted representatives of the most distinguished aristocratic families - the Radziwiłł, Czartoryski, Lubomirski, Branicki and Talleyrand-Perigord.
The palace is surrounded by manor buildings and the whole is immersed in the greenery of a 40-hectare park maintained in the English style. The park's beautiful tree-lined avenues will take you to unusual places. One of them is a picturesque pond with a small grotto with a statue of the Virgin Mary on its bank.
