Manor in Głuchowo, Greater Poland
Neoclassical Palace from the Early 18th / Late 19th Century
Głuchowo is located northwest of Czempiń in the southern metropolitan area of Poznań. In the first half of the 18th century, Adam Kołaczkowski, bearer of the Abdank coat of arms and chamberlain of Kalisz, had the first representative manor house built in a late Baroque style based on a simple older building. Under the Żółtowski family, the estate experienced its economic heyday in the second half of the 19th century, during which the existing manor house was expanded and transformed into a palatial structure. This included single-story extensions, a tall portico with a balcony, a façade featuring rusticated stonework, and decorative interiors.After 1945, it was converted into a state agricultural enterprise. Although the estate was fragmented during this period and only a fraction of the original park remains, the palace itself was largely spared from significant alterations. After being returned to descendants of the Żółtowski family in the 1990s, it stood vacant for many years. Extensive restoration work was carried out in the meantime, and a hotel and restaurant operation was opened in an outbuilding. The palace was externally renovated, but the owners decided to sell the historic property to a new investor in 2024.
