Main Hall, formerly Northern Entrance Hall (entrance)
The Żagań Palace, as a Baroque residence, had from its inception a two-corridor layout with a narrower corridor section on the courtyard side. During the reconstruction by Duke Vaclav Eusebius von Lobkowitz, a primarily enfilade layout was introduced, and in the main corridor, two staircases with monumental skylights in the northern and western wings were built, as well as several rooms with rich stucco decoration. Moreover, spiral staircases located in the northern and southern parts of the corridors facilitated communication.
Monument of Adam Stawczyk
Someone special invites us to the palace, Adam Stawczyk sitting on a bench - long-time director of Żagań Palace of Culture (nineteen seventy-five, two thousand three), regionalist, guide, storyteller, social worker, culture animator in the city and region. Without his strength and extraordinary perseverance, Żagań would not have rebuilt its gem, which is undoubtedly the palace.
At the initiative of the Friends of Żagań Society in June two thousand twelve, this eloquent bronze monument was unveiled, made by the artist Marek Szal, funded by the society of the city of Żagań. It was Adam Stawczyk who most remembered as the builder of the Żagań Palace of Culture. Fortunately, he had wonderful people around him who supported him in his (often non-standard for those times) activities.
Dorota Talleyrand-Périgord was his muse and guide in action. Quoting her he said: "...I love Żagań, despite all its shortcomings, I don't want to be blind, it cost me too much effort and sacrifice not to be rewarded with its view. Besides, I did it many a kindness, revived the area, gave it life and movement. My excessive activity found its ardor here".
Thanks to Adam Stawczyk, the tradition of the fair Anno Domini twelve hundred twenty-two was also revived, then, already during the reign of Henry the First Bearded, the city was a trading center in the Grain and Butter market. This is how Adam Stawczyk encouraged the first Michał Fair in nineteen ninety-one: "...Therefore, come to Żagań fortress on the twenty-ninth of September, to celebrate! What you see, you buy, and you will have fun - it's YOURS!"
