Polish Palaces: Wola Boglewska
The palace in Wola Boglewska (Mazowieckie Voivodeship) is a picturesque manor of eclecticism with neo-Renaissance and Art Nouveau elements. It was built at the beginning of the 20th century by the Warsaw architect Apolonius Nieniewski for the family Kępalska.
In the post-war period the manor house was used for elementary school and apartments. Although the interiors were rebuilt and changed according to the school purpose, essential architectural features such as the representative staircase with Ionic columns in the entrance hall, historical tiled stoves and wooden floorboards have been preserved until today.
Until a few years ago, three former teachers and their families still lived in the building. Due to lack of maintenance, the structural condition deteriorated rapidly; the apartments had to be closed due to the acute danger of collapse.
The tenants' move-out raised legal questions about the ownership of the castle and park. Since that time, the responsible municipality has been trying to establish a dialog with descendants of the former owners.
However, following a telephone inquiry in August 2020, the mayoress expressed confidence that an agreement would soon be reached and that the building would be put up for sale after all the procedures and expert opinions had been completed, as there is an urgent need for action for the valuable building: the building fabric has been attacked by dry rot in the meantime.
We will keep you up to date on further developments on our Facebook page and will then also offer the property on REALPORTICO.
A curious thing on the side: at the end of the 1920s, the authorities were informed by a citizen of the village about a large money box that was said to be buried somewhere in the manor park, which caused turbulent scenes: Although the owners of the manor allowed the tax authorities to search for the box, the villagers also besieged the park and started their own treasure hunt. It has not been found until today.
