Venue

The palace complex in Ciążeń is undoubtedly one of the most interesting and largest complexes representing Rococo architecture in Greater Poland (Wielkopolska).
The first records of the existence of Ciążeń come from the second half of the 13th century. The present palace with a gallery, a pavilion and an outbuilding was built for Bishop Teodor Czartoryski. It is known that in the year of the founder's death (1788), the palace was already erected, but not finished. Only after the palace was taken over by Bishop Ignacy Raczyński, it was completed and, at the same time, surrounded by a beautiful park. In 1818, the bishops' property is confiscated and incorporated. The first private owner of the Cążeń estate was Wacław Gutakowski, adjutant of Tsar Alexander I. It remained in the hands of the Gutakowski family until 1860. Later it became the property of other landed gentry families (Golcz, Dąbski, Zakrzewski, Gerlicz). After the war, from 1946 to 1964, there was a primary school in the palace. From 1969, the palace and its surroundings were taken over by the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and it became the seat of a branch of the Adam Mickiewicz University Library and the House of Creative Work with accommodation and conference rooms (http://palace.amu.edu.pl/ciazen).

The easiest way to reach the palace in Ciążeń is by car (exit from the A2 motorway at the Słupca junction and turn onto the DW466 road, approx. 10 km in the direction of Pyzdry).

If you travel to the SFM'22 conference by public transport, the easiest way is to get to the Słupca railway station by train, located only 12 km from the palace in Ciążeń. The Słupca railway station is located on a busy railway line from Poznań to Warsaw. In this case, we ask you to inform us (Ten adres pocztowy jest chroniony przed spamowaniem.
