Grabki Duże[1][2] [ˈɡrapki ˈduʐɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Szydłów, within Staszów County, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, in south-central Poland.[3] It lies approximately 4 km (2 mi) west of Szydłów, 16 km (10 mi) west of Staszów, and 41 km (25 mi) south-east of the regional capital Kielce.

In a village there is a baroque palace from 1742, designed in oriental style by Franciszek Placidi. It was built by a noble Stanisław Rupniewski, who spent some time in a Turkish captivity and converted himself to Islam. The palace was nicknamed "harem" by the neighbors. The palace is in private hands and can be viewed from the outside.
