OBJEZIERZE

Objezierze is a village situated in Oborniki district (powiat), 7 km south-west of Oborniki.
 
Around 1725, the entire property was acquired by the Węgorzewskis of the coat-of-arms Leszczyc. The estate was then inherited from Piotr Węgorzewski, the first of the line, Master-of-the-Hunt of Poznań, by his son Jan-Nepomucen who in 1772 swapped properties with his brother Wojciech, General/Aide-de-Camp to His Majesty, married to Aniela nee Kwilecka. It was for them that a new showy residence was built after 1780, furnished with ample stuccowork and painted decoration; beside it, a number of pieces of furniture and works of art, a collection of books and objects of archaeological interest, coming from the site’s closest vicinity, have been amassed.

Objezierze once played host to Adam Mickiewicz, the Polish national bard.

A redevelopment project carried out by the Turn familys in 1840–1841, according to a design by French architect Alexandre Adelfonse, has thoroughly altered the palace’s appearance. The portico recess was walled up and the pediment was possibly brought down, but in the first place, an extra storey was overbuilt, the whole palace being covered by a much lower-rise roof, which has upset its solid’s former proportions. Another redevelopment project, delivered in 1905/1906 by architect Stanisław Borecki, slightly improved on this aspect as the building got extended by addition of two monoaxial side annexes.

The interior layout has remained almost unchanged. The vestibule on the axis is connected with the rotund room which occupies the rear elevation’s projection space set through two storeys and crowned with a pseudo-cupola. The building’s side sections have rooms designed in a two- and three-tract arrangement, plus a staircase leading to the upper storey.

An extensive landscape park setup is laid out around the palace.

Today, the palace is home to ‘Adam Mickiewicz’ Assembled Schools.
