"I love coming here for drinks. It’s a one of the most beautiful coffee place in town. I just love it!"
Sava V. Franke
"Quite a nice complex, that's well kept, with a kafeteria on site, however it is missing a bigger garden. If you are not interested in a museum it's a 5 minute visit and photos."
Maciej Polakowski
"A palace with a small garden in front. There is a restaurant inside and a small Café where you can get wine and coffee to go. I didn’t see that the facilities were open to the public."
