Palace in Rejowiec near Chełm

Pałac w Rejowcu, Rejowiec

Palaces and mansions in southeastern Poland: Rejowiec (Pałac w Rejowcu)

In the small village of Rejowiec, 16 km southwest of Chełm, there is an interesting classicist magnate's palace of the Ossolinski family, situated on a slight hillside.

Józef Kajetan Ossoliński had the building erected in the early 19th century for his daughter Konstancja as a future heiress of the estate. Initially, it was a simple building on a square ground plan with a portico and a turret, which acquired its present extravagant appearance towards the end of the 19th century: The central section, which had existed until then, was supplemented by two side wings in an acute-angled design, finished off with two-story corner towers. A ballroom was built in the north wing (shown here on the left), and the south wing was given a colonnade.

From about 1880, the industrialist Józef Budny took over the estate and made it an important industrial site in the region by additionally building a sugar factory and a distillery.

Today Rejowiec Castle is a municipal property. It has been renovated in recent years and is currently the seat of the municipal administration (2022). An English landscape park belongs to the castle.

Other well-known properties of the family were the nearby residential castle in Krzyżtopór (now in ruins) and the baroque palace in Sterdyń (Mazovia).
