Description

Koszęcin Palace (Polish: Pałac w Koszęcinie; German: Schloss Koschentin) is a neoclassical palace in Koszęcin in Lubliniec County, in the Silesian Voivodeship. It is one of the largest palace complexes from the neoclassical period in Poland. Originally a wooden castle, it was rebuilt in the 17th century as a brick residence and later transformed into its present form in the 19th century under the princes of Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen, a branch of the House of Hohenlohe.

Since 1953, the palace has served as the headquarters of the Śląsk Song and Dance Ensemble, one of Poland's most renowned folk music and dance groups. The palace complex includes a landscaped park, a historic chapel repurposed as a concert hall, and several preserved architectural elements from different periods. Today, it functions as both a cultural center and a historic site, hosting artistic events, exhibitions, and educational activities.
