Herbst Palace

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:19:28

Now a branch of the Museum of Art, this building started life in 1875 as a grand villa of the Herbst family. Although the owners fled before WWII, taking all the furnishings and art with them, the interior has been restored and furnished like the original, giving an insight into how barons of industry once lived. The area around it, known as the Priest's Mill (Księży Młyn), once hosted a model 19th-century mill town, created by Herbst's father-in-law Karol Scheibler.
