The history of Branicki Palace has influenced my life in an almost physical way. My wife – many years ago my girlfriend – was taking an exam to the Catholic University of Lublin, History of Art. One of the questions, as it later turned out – the most important one – concerned Branicki Palace and its baroque gardens. Sławcia didn’t make the cut. But thanks to this we studied together in Poznań. And they lived happily ever after 🙂
