The grounds contain one of the largest concentrations of ancient pedunculate oaks in Europe, several of which are designated as natural monuments.
The palace collection includes the famous 'The Hunters' Gallery,' a specific room designed by Edward Aleksander Raczyński to display his art acquisitions.
The mausoleum serves as a memorial church and is the final resting place for members of the Raczyński family.
The estate remained in the continuous possession of the Raczyński family for over two centuries until the post-WWII period.
The park's oak population has been the subject of extensive dendrological study due to the exceptional age and size of individual trees.
The Raczyński Palace in Rogalin is an 18th-century Baroque-Classicist residence located near the Warta River, currently operating as a branch of the National Museum in Poznań. The site is internationally recognized for its extensive landscape park containing hundreds of centuries-old oaks, some exceeding 600 years in age. The main palace building houses a reconstructed collection of European paintings and historical furniture belonging to the Raczyński family. A key feature of the grounds is the 19th-century family mausoleum, designed as a replica of the Maison Carrée in Nîmes. The interior displays include the famous painting 'Joan of Arc' by Jan Matejko. Extensive restoration work in the 21st century returned the palace interiors to their historical appearance. The estate represents a significant example of Polish aristocratic culture and 18th-century architectural planning.

Prioritize walking the marked trail through the Rogalin Landscape Park to see the oldest oaks, as they are located away from the main palace entrance.
Check the museum's official website for temporary exhibitions in the palace wing, as these rotationally replace parts of the permanent collection.
Bring comfortable walking shoes suitable for unpaved park paths, as the estate grounds are quite expansive.
Do not attempt to climb or touch the ancient oaks, as they are protected natural monuments; avoid visiting during extreme weather when park paths may be muddy or closed.
Closed on Mondays throughout the year.
Photography is permitted without flash in most gallery rooms; quiet demeanor is requested within the mausoleum.
