The palace, designed by the famous architect Dominik Merlini, has been a meeting place for the intelligentsia from the very beginning, as well as an object of promoting Polish culture. One of the first court scenes in Poland was located in the palace interiors. Józef Wybicki and Wojciech Bogusławski, called the father of the Polish Theatre, staged their plays here. The guests of Prince Jabłonowski were also Prince Józef Poniatowski and Tadeusz Kościuszko. In later years, the palace was successively owned by the Dutch kings from the Orange dynasty, and then by the grand dukes of Saxony and Weimar.
In 1919, pursuant to the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, the property of Racock became the property of the Polish State Treasury. By the decision of the Council of Ministers in 1921, the palace in Racota gained the status of the Residence of the Presidents of the Republic of Poland. Presidents Stanisław Wojciechowski and Ignacy Mościcki used to come here. In 1928, the State Stud "Racot" was established here (one of three in pre-war Poland), which is continued by the current company. Today, after a thorough renovation, there is a high-standard hotel in the palace, where you will find excellent conditions for intellectual work and relaxation.
