3 Palaces & Joan




Both Joan and I had bad sleeping nights, hers because of nurses waking her up and me because of mosquitoes in my room. I was awake even before the 7 o'clock alarm rang and out of the hotel before 8, I wanted to make some photo stops on the way to see Joan when she was free.

First stop was easy, right here in K膮kolewo to a privately owned manor house or palace. Even in small villages you will find one such large building. It's the first in the slideshow series.

Next was much more interesting because it is being beautifully restored by a private owner who wasn't there but the grounds keeper gave me permission to take the pictures. The palace in Dobramy艣li was built in the mid-nineteenth century, most likely, by the owner of the village, Adolf Georg Ernest. After that, the owners of the palace and the property remained were Johanna Luis von Leesen and Heinrich von Heydebrandt. The Von Heydebrandt's were also masters at the castle in Osieczna. The new owner are completing the renovation of the building, which regained its luster. It remains only to organize the park with monumental oaks,

Finally the palace in Garzyn,  It's a three story palace with a four-story tower with the characteristics of Neo-Renaissance that was built in the second half of the nineteenth century., Distinguishing feature of this object is a projection center with three semicircular arches on the first and second floor. The palace is surrounded by a small park with beautiful specimens of trees . It's owned by a firm now and they gave me permission to take the pictures.

Joan started 4 therapy sessions today and finished with a massage. She was tired after it but we took a 15km drive to Leszno to a small restaurant in a house Zbyszek told us about, It was nice. Back at rehab , she showered, changed for bed and went at 19:30.

I also took some pictures of the inside of the rehab center that are in the slideshow after Joan's pictures.

Zar贸wno Joan, jak i ja mieli艣my z艂膮 noc. Joan bo piel臋gniarki j膮 budzi艂y, a ja, bo w moim pokoju by艂y komary. Nie spa艂em ju偶 zanim budzik zadzwoni艂 o si贸dmej i wyszed艂em z hotelu przed 8, bo chcia艂em zrobi膰 kilka zdj臋膰 zatrzymuj膮c si臋 po drodze, i po to, aby zobaczy膰 Joan,  kiedy b臋dzie  wolna po zajeciach.

Pierwszy przystanek by艂 艂atwy, w艂a艣nie tu, w K膮kolewie w prywatnej rezydencji lub pa艂acu. Nawet w ma艂ych miejscowo艣ciach mo偶na znale藕膰 jeden taki du偶y budynek. Jest na pierwszym zdj臋ciu w serii slajd贸w.

Nast臋pny by艂 o wiele bardziej interesuj膮cy, poniewa偶 jest pi臋knie odrestaurowany przez prywatnego w艂a艣ciciela, kt贸rego nie by艂o na miejscu, ale ogrodnik da艂 mi pozwolenie na zrobienie zdj臋膰. Pa艂ac w Dobrej zosta艂 najprawdopodobniej zbudowany w po艂owie XIX wieku przez w艂a艣ciciela wsi Adolf Georg Ernesta. Nast臋pnymi wspomnianymi w艂a艣cicielami pa艂acu i maj膮tku byli Johanna Luis von Leesen i Heinrich von Heydebrandt. Von Heydebrandt  byli r贸wnie偶 panami zamku w Osiecznej. Nowy w艂a艣ciciel ko艅czy remont budynku, kt贸ry odzyska艂 sw贸j blask. Pozostaje tylko uporz膮dkowa膰 park zabytkowymi d臋bami.

Wreszcie pa艂ac w Garzynie, to trzypi臋trowy pa艂ac z wie偶膮 czteropi臋trow膮 z cechami neorenesansu, kt贸ry zosta艂 zbudowany w drugiej po艂owie XIX w. Wyr贸偶niaj膮c膮 si臋 cech膮 tego obiektu jest centrum z trzema p贸艂kolistymi 艂ukami na pierwszym i drugim pi臋trze. Pa艂ac otoczony jest ma艂ym parkiem z pi臋knymi okazami drzew. Teraz jest w艂asno艣ci膮 firmy, kt贸ra  da艂a mi pozwolenie na wykonanie zdj臋膰.

Dzisiaj Joan rozpocz臋艂a 4 sesje terapeutyczne zako艅czone masa偶em. By艂a po tym zm臋czona, ale pojechali艣my 15km do  Leszna do ma艂ej restauracji, o kt贸rej Zbyszek powiedzia艂 nam jeszcze w domu. To by艂o mi艂e. Po powrocie do centrum Joan wzi臋艂a prysznic, przebra艂a si臋 do spania, a ja  wyszed艂em o godzinie 19:30.
