Paszkówka Castle

Paszkówka Palace was designed by renowned, 19th-century Kraków architect Feliks Księżarski, inter alia the designer of Collegium Novum, the main edifice of the Jagiellonian University. The former building was only one storey high, with a battlement-finish staircase, which on the outside forms a tower. The palace's architecture is drawn towards the Neo-Gothic architectural style, with elements of English Neo-Gothic. According to architectural critics, the palace fails to live up to all the forms of Neo-Gothic architecture and as such is branded "pseudo-" Gothic. The main distinct architectural properties of the building are that of a Mauretanian tower, avant-corps and pinnacles. Underneath the windows on the first storey are found mythological motifs. The 19th-century palace is located in a characteristic English landscape garden type. There, old lime, oak and hornbeam trees grow. Part of the palace-garden complex is Hotel "Spichlerz", which was raised on the authentic foundation of the former granary.
