Attractions and Places To See around gmina Paprotnia - Top 20

Kuźnia Pałacowa is a unique accommodation facility located right next to the palace, offering comfortable rooms in a 19th-century building.

The builder of the Palace in Korczew was Wiktoryn Kuczyński, the castellan of Podlasie and the founder of churches in Drohiczyn, who made a fortune by floating grain to Gdańsk. The manor house in Korczew was supposed to be built for his younger son Leon. The oldest part of the palace, the ballroom with original Rococo stucco, dates from that time. Above the central entrance to the hall is the Ślepowron coat of arms, used by the Kuczyński family. This was where the Bar Confederates' conventions, organized by Leon Kuczyński, took place.

The palace in Korczew, called the "Siedlce Wilanów", is a classicist residence from 1834, designed by Franciszek Jaszczołd for the Kuczyński family. The building was restored by the Ostrowski-Harris family and currently serves as a museum and cultural center, offering tours of the interiors with original black oak paneling, a ballroom and an orangery. The park surrounding the palace with a linden alley and the Menhir stone is a great place for a walk. For road cyclists, access via asphalt roads is convenient, and there is a restaurant and accommodation available on site at Kuźnia Pałacowa. It is worth taking a bike lock to safely explore the palace grounds and its surroundings.

The palace can be visited virtually. Walks of the permanent exhibition and two temporary exhibitions were carried out as part of the project entitled: "Creation of open data together with the construction of a technical, technological and coordination base for local governments of the Mazovian Voivodeship". https://muzeumdabrowa.pl/2020/07/wirtualne-zwiedzanie-2/

next to the main palace in the park there is the Winter Palace called Seberia, open to the public since 2023

During the war, the Palace in Korczew was initially taken over as a border guard post, and later as a sanatorium for soldiers returning from the Eastern Front. The building did not suffer much damage, but its furnishings did: the Germans stole most of the furniture and burned a large part of the palace library. More damage was later caused by Soviet soldiers and many years of neglect. The palace was nationalized as part of the land reform and fell into ruin with each subsequent year. The ballroom was used as a warehouse for fertilizers that had destroyed the old oak floor. Broken windows were not repaired, and the elements contributed to the gradual devastation. The only piece of furniture that remained of the original equipment was a heavy metal safe. https://www.korczew.com/palac/history

The builder of the Palace in Korczew was Wiktoryn Kuczyński, the castellan of Podlasie and the founder of the churches in Drohiczyn, who made a fortune by floating grain to Gdańsk. The manor in Korczew was to be built for his younger son Leon. He entrusted the task of designing the building to the architect Koncenia Boni. The oldest part of the palace, i.e. the ballroom with original rococo stucco, dates from that time. Above the central entrance to the hall there is the Ślepowron coat of arms, which was used by the Kuczyński family. This was the place where meetings of the Bar Confederates were held, organized by Leon Kuczyński.
