Sobieski Palace

It is a pity that such an architecturally interesting building does not have a real host and is deteriorating every year. I have never been able to come closer because the area is inaccessible. The palace as a monument should be renovated and serve us all. I read that there are problems finding owners, but this is not a way out. The way out is the immediate renovation of this amazing property.

Sorry to see, the gate on the remote control and the building in ruins.

A beautiful place, but ruined by the rectors of the Lublin University of Technology. Not renovated for years. No access to sightseeing !!!!!

The place fascinated me because during my stay in Lublin it was my view from the window, it has an interesting and somewhat sad story: it was built in the second half of the 16th century, originally a defensive point protruding against the city walls. Then there was the manor, palace, mill, military hospital, school. The first owner is Marek Sobieski - grandfather of Jan Sobieski, king of the Commonwealth. Stables, outbuildings and a farm were built next to the palace. The next owners, unfortunately not very caring about the object were Radziwiłłów. At the public auction the palace was bought by T. Trojecki and in 1840 by lawyer Dominik Boczarski. On his initiative, a mill was built in the building, even a windmill was built here from later years rebuilt into a palace tower. Renovation costs led the owner to bankruptcy and in Lublin he said "he went out like Boczarski at the mill" ...

Sobieski Palace - a palace in Lublin built in the 16th century and rebuilt in the 17th century, located at ul. Bernardyńska 13. Originally it was a magnificent manor built in the second half. 16th century by the voivode of Lublin Marek Sobieski - grandfather of the future king. At the end of the 17th century it was expanded and rebuilt and belonged to Jan III Sobieski. After his death in 1696 he was divided between his two sons. In the 18th century, the property was used by the Radziwiłł family, but there are no clear indications whether it was their property or only remained in their use. The building gradually deteriorated and in 1804 it was bought at auction by Tomasz Trojecki. In 1811, Trojecki donated the building to lawyer Dominik Boczarski, who rebuilt it into a mill. In the years 1843-1844 Boczarski built a mill and added a bakery (part of the left outbuilding). In 1852 he went bankrupt, and a year later the palace was bought at auction by Witold and Konstanty Brzezinski. In 1863 they modernized the mill, transforming it into a steam mill, but they soon went bankrupt, and the mill served as residential. In 1884, the palace was bought at another public auction by J. Strochociński, who rebuilt it for residential purposes, raising it by two floors. The interiors were decorated with stucco, and the whole was given an eclectic look. In 1888 the palace was purchased by Bronisława Vetterowa. In 1895 outbuildings were added. In 1905, Helena Czarniecka's Private Junior High School, which housed until the outbreak of World War II, began operating in the palace buildings. Some rooms housed shops and service facilities. In 1927, the property was bought by T. Karszo-Siedlewski. After the outbreak of war in 1941, the palace was taken over by the General Government (periodically a hospital). After 1945 it housed the headquarters of the PPR central committee and the apartment. Currently, it is the property of the Lublin University of Technology. It is a baroque building with a great dome in the middle of the building, decorated with many figures and already referring to the Rococo.
