Years ago, a friend and I visited the village of Karpniki, located in the Rudawy Janowickie Mountains at the foot of the Karkonosze Mountains. It was summer, wild strawberries were ripening in the meadows, crickets were chirping, and all around us – architectural history: historic palaces and castles surrounded by parks, churches, and rural cottages. The beauty and richness of this place surprised and fascinated us. Many of the buildings were in ruins. Work to preserve some of them was just beginning. The historic mill in Karpniki crossed our path, and we decided to revitalize it. We tried to preserve as much of the building as possible, and then... we breathed new function, technology, and design – new life – into the historic walls. The idea to create guest apartments in the mill was inspired by a desire to relax in nature and silence – in comfortable, spacious, and beautiful interiors. Our project was recognized by the Voivodeship Conservator of Monuments himself. We believe that you, too, will appreciate its unique atmosphere – its genius loci. We cordially invite you any time of year.

We invite you to the carefully restored, historic Karpnicki Mill, which dates back to the 18th century. We are located in a large green area between the Karpnicki Stream and the Młynówka Canal.

Młyn Karpnicki is a combination of historic architecture with modern design and technology. In the spacious, atmospheric apartments you will find nicely and comfortably furnished living rooms, comfortably equipped kitchenettes, cozy bedrooms and modern bathrooms. The interior design is complemented by antique furniture, including hand-painted Jelenia Góra wardrobes from the 18th century, and historic tiled stoves and fireplaces.

Each apartment has a parking space in a fenced and monitored courtyard. It is also possible to rent a place in a closed storage room for bicycles and other sports equipment.

Each apartment has a well-equipped kitchen where you can conveniently prepare your meals.

We invite you to the Valley of Palaces and Gardens - an enclave of historic residences, located at the junction of three countries, at the foot of the Karkonosze Mountains. In an area of only 102 km², you will find a unique complex of 30 beautiful residences. Karpniki Castle and the Oak Palace in Karpniki are among the 11 palace and park complexes of the Jelenia Góra Valley, which were included in the list of Polish Historical Monuments in 2012 (a form of the highest recognition for monuments). In the immediate vicinity there are other buildings in: Bukowiec, Ciszyca near Kowary, Jelenia Góra - the Paulinum Palace and the Schaffgotsch Palace in Cieplice, Łomnica, Mysłakowice, Staniszów Górny, Wojanów - Bobrow and Wojanów.

We have friendly wild, semi-wild and domestic animals that visit us and are great to watch:

– a deer that lives in the nearby bushes and feeds and waters us three times a day,
– domestic birds (chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys) passing from neighbors,
– herons and even black storks passing by,
– swallows and lots of other singing birds nesting under the roof,
– butterflies and all insects using the wild, unmowed part of the garden
- newts and salamanders in the Młynówka biotope and by the stream, under stones and in wood piles,
– trout and other fish in the Karpnicki Stream
– fauna and flora, in particular beaver habitats, in the Karpnickie Ponds (Natura 2000).

In our garden you will find groups of garden furniture, hammocks and deckchairs, a barbecue and bonfire area, a playground for children, and a ping-pong table and a punching bag under the roof.

Children can enjoy hammocks, deckchairs, swings, a slide, a sandbox, a plastic and inflatable pool, garden toys and tools, games, a football field, a table tennis table, a punching bag with gloves, and, on request, a Rifi-Rafi clown.

All apartments are equipped with remote workspaces, most with beautiful views. We also have excellent internet.
