Mansions and Palaces
The Polish aristocracy built palaces of all shapes and sizes, each with from ten to a hundred rooms. During socialist times many of these were confiscated by the authorities and fell into disrepair. Hence these properties tend not to be put on the market by individuals or agents, but by government bodies. Some have already been renovated while others require significant investment. Their main use today is seen as hotels, conference centres, etc., although private individuals looking for a large residency have snapped up a large number already.
