Dietel Palace is a baroque palace built for Heinrich Dietel, located in Sosnowiec (Poland).
In 1890, the final project was made. When the palace was finished around the year 1900, an enclosed parking lot with a conservatory and elements of small architecture was built.
Along with the park, the former factory, the workers’ settlement, and the evangelical church, the palace was a member of the patronage team. The palace served as a residence for the Dietel family until 1945. It was occupied by the Soviet NKVD in January of that year, which was in charge of the city’s needs.
Numerous palace components and equipment were destroyed at that time. The School of Music’s home until 1997. Starting around 1997 the structure has been exclusive. Since that same year, renovations have been underway.
Since 2016, visitors can tour the facility and rent banquet halls with rooms for rent. There are two parts to the palace: north is narrower, while south is broader.
Brick is used for the facade, and plaster and artificial stone are used for the details. Mansard roofs cover the structure. The interior of the palace has some of the original furniture and equipment, making it a particularly valuable monument.
On the first floor are the representative rooms.
The ballroom: The two-story ballroom is designed in the Louis XV style. Stucco and mirrors adorn the walls.The western wall contained a small balcony.
The dining room at Neobarock: Dutch room or couch room are other names for the second largest room in the palace. The sideboards are surrounded by oak wood paneling in the dining room. The panels with decorations referring to the Dutch painting of Delft are an additional decoration.
Room with Neo-Roman pipes: Decorated with plant and animal-themed paneling that incorporates the cabinets and seat. Two stained glass windows provide additional room decoration.
