Amber Palace, Włocławek

The complex occupies a prominent footprint and combines reinforced concrete structure with traditional facing materials. The primary structural frame and foundations are of reinforced concrete, while external walls were erected using concrete blocks, solid brick, and hollow ceramic blocks. Interior partitions make use of either brick or gypsum mounted on metal framing. Floors and ceilings were assembled with Żerań channel slabs (precast concrete floor slabs with longitudinal channels) and the roof rests on timber trusses. The building rises four storeys with a non-usable attic and measures about 45 meters across, 22 meters deep, and 23 meters in height, covering roughly 1,116 square meters on plan while the entire estate extends across about 30,000 square meters.

The exterior presents stone finishes of sandstone and granite and the main elevation carries a dedicatory text honoring mothers. Inside, finishes include polished stone, marble and high-quality timber. A central reception and event area is dominated by the Golden Hall, which measures about 12.6 meters in width and occupies roughly 300 square meters. The conference complex comprises six rooms whose total area is about 553 square meters. Seating arrangements are described with differing capacities in documents, with the conference layout listed as accommodating up to 400 seated and another account assigning the Golden Hall an upper figure near 180 guests, reflecting alternative room configurations.

Additional meeting spaces vary in size and are arranged around the main hall. Named rooms include a business suite and several smaller chambers ranging between the mid-thirties and high-fifties in square meters. The basement level contains club rooms fitted with billiard tables. Lodging is provided on-site with thirty hotel rooms in the main building and an auxiliary East Residence adding five more guest rooms. Hotel amenities comprise a restaurant and a small spa area offering a Finnish-style sauna and massage services.

Outdoor grounds form an extensive designed landscape of more than one hectare, threaded with numerous walkways, fountains and sculptural elements. Planting totals approximately forty thousand individual specimens and includes spring shrubs, flowering azaleas and rhododendrons, roses and hydrangeas, as well as laburnums, hibiscus and a mix of firs, oaks, beeches and hollies. The estate is enclosed by an ornamental wall that runs about one kilometre. In the eastern portion a water basin feeds a small waterfall and a short stream, alongside which an amphitheatre and a barbecue area have been laid out. Practical site facilities include parking provision for around 110 vehicles and four tennis courts, with the indoor courts equipped with winter heating. The building and its grounds remain in active use for the foundation’s offices, hospitality operations and public events.
