Discover Chocicza

A palace from 1920, an extensive park and a local history that begins with the first written mention in 1391 define Chocicza. If you are looking for a hotel, this combination offers a concrete starting point: you can assess the place according to your architectural, landscape or historical interests. The municipality’s historical trail also includes Chocicza, opening up a broader historical perspective.

Palace and Park

In Chocicza’s extensive park, the Jouanne family, Kennemann’s heirs, built an eclectic palace in 1920. Eclectic describes architecture that draws on design elements from different styles. This means the building can be considered not only in terms of its year of construction, but also its stylistic classification.

An old hornbeam avenue belongs to the palace grounds. In the park, beside the road to the palace, there is also a spreading walnut tree with a trunk circumference of 290 centimetres. The avenue and the individual tree offer different points of reference: one is a row of hornbeams, the other a single tree whose circumference is specified. If you include parkland in your travel plans, both features provide more precise points of reference than a general description of the green space.

Local History and Railway

The first written mention of Chocicza dates to 1391. From the end of the 14th century, Chocicza was the seat of the Chocicki family. The dates are close, but describe different things: 1391 marks the first written mention, while the family seat reflects the place’s historical role for that family. The first mention should therefore not be equated with a founding date.

In 1875, a railway station and station building were constructed in Chocicza on the Kluczbork–Poznań railway line. This construction took place after the family seat dates from the late 14th century, but before the 1920 palace. The 19th-century transport history thus adds another historical perspective to the older local and family connections.
