https://www.palacosowasien.com/…/9/welcome-palace-osowa-sien
Absorb yourself in a fairytale slice of German-Polish history at The Palace at Osowa Sien - a magical country retreat rich in fine culture (and wine!)
Osowa Sien is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wschowa, within Wschowa County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland. It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) north-east of Wschowa and 59 km (37 mi) east of Zielona Góra.
The current name of the village is literally a house in the aspen and appears in Polish historical sources also as Ossowa Sień or Ossowasień. The German name is derived from the name of a German settler Rüdiger and occurs in older versions as Rüdigersdorf or later shortened Röhrsdorf.
The first mention of the village dates from 1325 and then was called Rudegeri Villa.
The Church of St. Fabian and St. Sebastian, built in the 14th century, is the oldest historical building in Osowa Sień. It is a single-aisle building, made of stone with a use of bricks. Baroque interior comes from the 18th century. Inside there is as well the sculpture of Christ from the 16th century and the Renaissance tombstones of a former landlords from Żychliński and Ossowski family.
In the village there is also the neoclassical palace complex built between 1890-1904 and Classicist manor from the beginning of the 19th century, both surrounded by large park areas.
Most of us dream of living in a castle, and with a stay in The Palace at Osowa Sien you can make those fairytale dreams come true! Explore the castle, its wistful communal areas, natural landscape and historic tree-lined park at your leisure, and as a special treat, why not indulge in a little wine tasting too? After all, you're located in a traditional Polish wine region, and there are dedicated cellars (not to mention a lounge with a crackling fire come the fall and winter months) in which you can sample some artisanal-local and European goods. Indeed, surely it would be rude not to!
