Park complex in Rogalin

The village of Rogalin has a centuries-old biography, but it entered history as the estate of the noble Raczynski family. In the XVII century it was bought by Vladimir Raczynski, the headman of Velikopolska and the royal marshal, and over time there was an extraordinary palace and park ensemble in a mixed style of Baroque and classicism.

Its construction began in early 1768, the work lasted almost half a century. During the Great Polish Uprising of 1848, the palace was looted, and the fascists also did. But, despite all the disasters that war brings, already in 1949, a department of the Poznan People's Museum was opened here. It contains various works of art, including sculptures, furniture by the best masters, antique watches, and, of course, paintings by representatives of the most important schools and trends of Polish and European painting of the second half of the XIX and early XX centuries - such as Claude Monet, Paul Delaros, Jan Matejko. Also of interest is the collection of old strollers and items used in transit.

And walking through the park of the XVIII century, which adjoins the castle, you will definitely see the famous oaks "Lech", "Czech" and "Rus", because such giants are difficult not to notice. In girth they reach from seven to nine meters.
