Located in the Grodków municipality, Sulisław Palace is one of the most beautiful residences in the area, attracting lovers of history, architecture, and nature for years. It is a perfect example of harmony with nature, creating a space conducive to relaxation and inner balance. 

At the end of the 18th century, the Sulisław estate belonged to the bishopric principality in Nysa, and from the first half of the 19th century until 1880, it was owned by Hugo Grosser. In 1888, the property was purchased by Hans Karl, Count von Schaffgotsch, who initiated the construction of the Neo-Gothic palace, most likely based on a design by Karl Luedecke. At the beginning of the 20th century, the estate was leased, and in 1917 it was sold to Count Johannes von Francken-Sierstorpff, owner of the Jędrzejów estate. The property remained in his possession until 1945.

After the war, the palace served as the winter quarters for the “Arena” circus for two years, turning the area into an unusual zoo. Later, it housed, among others, the headquarters of the “Służba Polsce” organization. In 1978, the property was taken over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and then by the Provincial Militia Command in Opole, which established a sanatorium there. Between 2000 and 2006, the palace was abandoned. Currently, the property is owned by Jerzy Bary and functions as an exclusive hotel complex that combines history with modern luxury. The main building houses a five-star hotel, while the other facilities offer three-star standards. The entire complex includes one of the largest conference and congress centers in the region, providing excellent facilities for business and artistic events. A unique feature of the palace’s furnishings is a table that belonged to The Rolling Stones and was previously owned by the British queen. It can be admired in the Hunting Room, where it forms a unique element connecting rock music history with royal tradition. 

On the site of today’s palace once stood a Templar fortress. According to legend, they hid a chest full of gold and precious jewels brought from distant lands. One night, a dense fog enveloped the castle, and with it, all the knights disappeared. By morning, no trace remained, as if they had vanished into thin air. Since then, on moonless nights, a shadow of a knight in a white cloak can be seen in the palace windows. People say it is the ghost of the last guardian, still watching over the Templar treasure.

Sulisław Palace invites visitors to its atmospheric interiors, offering accommodations in comfortable rooms that transport guests to the atmosphere of bygone eras. The property provides a wide range of attractions conducive to relaxation and regeneration. Special attention is drawn to the luxurious SPA, known for Ayurvedic beauty and relaxation treatments performed by qualified specialists. Guests can unwind in the jacuzzi or use the pool with a counter-current feature, which, by simulating swimming in open water, allows intensive swim training even in a small space. For sauna enthusiasts, there is a Roman bath, ideal for regeneration and body cleansing. Furthermore, the palace features a modern gym equipped with various cardio and strength training devices, including treadmills, stationary bikes, and elliptical machines.

The palace also houses a museum with one of the most interesting porcelain collections in the region. The main part of the collection consists of porcelain produced in the famous manufactory in Tułowice from the late 19th century until the outbreak of World War II. Other exhibits come from Meissen, China, Japan, and other parts of the world. Additionally, the museum holds an intriguing collection of paintings, including Sea Portraits and a Portrait Gallery, as well as an extraordinary collection of clocks from the 17th to 20th centuries, which can be admired in the Column Hall, the palace’s former stable. The museum organizes temporary exhibitions, author meetings, and concerts, serving as an important center for culture and art in the region.

The property also operates an Ayurvedic Medicine and Yoga Center, which began activities in June 2012 under the direction of Chandra Mohan Bhandari, an international authority in yoga and Ayurveda.

The surroundings of the palace encourage active recreation with numerous cycling and hiking trails leading through the picturesque landscapes of the Opole region, offering unforgettable moments in nature.
