What to see
A gate crowned with a griffin leads into the courtyard; behind the palace stretches a French garden with parterres, a canal, pavilions and sculptures — one of the best-preserved of its kind in Poland. Part of the palace houses a Museum of the History of Medicine and Pharmacy.
A walk in the gardens takes an hour, two with the museum. Kościuszko Square is a few minutes away.
