The Palace in Frączków was built in the first half of the 18th century in the Baroque style as the seat of Leopold von Gilgenheimb. In the second half of the 19th century, Frączków and the surrounding lands were bought by Count Alexander von Francken-Sierstorpff from the Rhineland, thanks to whom the edifice was rebuilt in the Neo-Renaissance style. As a result of a fire, the object burned down in 1935. During the reconstruction, only the oldest part was recreated, which was transformed into a country estate. The author of the design of changes was Countess Helena von Praschma, whose family coat of arms is still visible above the palace fireplace today. In 1945, the palace was devastated by the Red Army. In the 1970s, the building passed into the administration of the State Agricultural Farm, which modernized the palace. The object is surrounded by a park with 300-year-old oaks, walking paths, a pond, and water channels. Currently, the object is unused. Practical information: The palace is not open to visitors. Free admission to the park. Free parking spaces directly in front of the facility.
