Palace in Mała Wieś
Pałac Mała Wieś, Mała Wieś
Classical palace in Mała Wieś, powiat grójecki, Mazovia
The palace in Mała Wieś is a neoclassical complex worth seeing in the greater Warsaw area and a typical example of a Polish magnate's residence in historic Mazovia. The main building was designed in 1783 by the famous architect Hilary Szpilowski for Bazyli Walicki and over the decades was owned by other important Polish families, including Zamoyski and Lubomirski.
Originally, the palace was to have two semicircular gallery wings, similar to the classical palace in Śmiełów or the palace in Pawłowice, but these plans were not realized.
After 1945, the complex was in a desolate state and was taken over by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. From 1947, the mansion served as a summer residence for ministers of the Polish People's Republic.
Return of the castle and park to descendants of the last owners
Positive end of a long legal dispute: in 2008 the property is returned to the heirs of the last owners (Morawski family). In 2013, the palace complex is sold to the current owners, who operate a hotel and cultural center there. The palace interiors, which are worth seeing, have been extensively restored and can be visited occasionally. Hotel rooms have been set up in the outbuildings. The entire ensemble with its structural facilities and green areas is today in a very well-kept condition and is one of the most beautiful palace and park facilities in the region.
