Built for the Baron Botho zu Eulenburg in 1589, the Palace today remains a rare example of Renaissance architecture, one of the best-preserved in the area of old Prussia. Each of the 36 rooms in the Grange and Palace is different. The accommodation is normally in the Grange, which is closer to the stables, but Palace rooms can be requested.

Free WiFi is available.
Free parking on-site.

The food at Galiny Palace focuses on the freshness and quality of its ingredient, whilst celebrating the culinary traditions of the local Warmia and Masuria region. Ingredients are locally-sources or grown in their own garden. Specialities include cabbage rolls stuffed with buckwheat, lamb dumplings, Ukrainian
borscht, lamb confit in a wine-thyme sauce, potato dumplings, roast duck, and more.

Lunch will be had on the trail in local restaurants or cooked by your hosts.

Non-alcoholic drinks are included at Galiny’s restaurant, and can be ordered at an extra charge during the day (coffee, tea, juice and beer). Vegetarian meals and allergies can be accommodated, please contact us with your requirements.

The climate in Poland is continental, with very cold winters, often below freezing, and warm summers. June, July and August can be quite hot, September and October being dry and cooler. Galiny is located along the northern coast, where the climate is milder, but you should expect snow from December to February (thankfully, one of the indoor schools is heated!).

Tips are not mandatory but very welcome if you are pleased with the service provided.
