Silent is keepin' 'Prince,' in spite of my asking him twice a polite question. What rudeness. What kind of 'Prince' is that? :)

Benedictine Abbey Tyniec

The Tyniec Abbey was founded in the 11th century. It is beautifully located on the limestone hill, with the Vistula river at its bottom. Throughout its history, the abbey was destroyed and rebuilt many times. The present church is in the Gothic style with the baroque interior. Due to the monastic enclosure, only some parts of the abbey are open to visitors. In the summer, the abbey holds the concerts of organ music.

McCoy: Ossoilineum in Wroclaw is a beauty This building is easily missed. Although close to Rynek, it is still out of the way. If you're looking for it... it is within 100m of Hala Targowa.

I will add more pictures with places from different regions of Poland and smaller "Dworki". There is a lot of such buildings in Pland because 10% of Polish people were members of aristocracy in comparison to for example England where it was just 1% of people.

SeanBM:

Well ... in many other european countries Aristocracy lived in properties owned by king and was just to collect taxes, they had good live thought but they weren't so rich because they had their king. In Poland king was elected in democratic way by aristocracy and was dependent from aristocracy... it was kind of democracy for 10% of people. In comparison 100 years after the end of 1st Polish republic only 2% of people in UK had similar rights.

Going back to money ... aristocracy was rich because king was weak, and king was just executing aristocracy decisions. That is why in Poland you can find so many palaces as long as they Aristocrats weren't working on despotic ruler.

Prince:

Perhaps you should start a thread on it.
I am sure there is a lot more to these palaces than just their architecture.
Aristocracy can have lots of skeletons in closets, perhaps that is why they needed such big palaces, to house all the closets :)

How did they heat them?,
I would move in to a small section and keep it heated all winter and then move to the West wing for summer :)

You can read history of some palaces in Poland there is a lot of information about it.

Palace which was owned by my ancestors had been changing heating technologies together with technological progress :)

Mała Rynek, (Small market square).
This used to be an old crapy taxi rank/carpark.
The buildings were/are obviously beautiful and the renovation looks, well you can see for yourself.

Mała Rynek, is behind the Mariacki church on Rynek Głowny (Main market square) Krakow.
