This Neoclassical palace was built in the late 19th century. Its founder and first owner was Moritz Karl Ernst von Prittwitz und Gaffron, a general and military engineer, who also lead the construction of Poznań fortress.
The residence, surrounded by a 9-acre park and a moat (largely filled up in 1926) is now privately owned. At the moment, there are 3 top-quality hotel facilities functioning in the complex: besides the historic palace, guests can spend the night in Pokoje nad Stajnią and Hotel za Parkiem. The hotel also features a spa area and stylish dining facilities. Jakubus Palace is famous for its horse-riding school and stables, and is also the official organizer of equestrian events of regional, national and international importance.
