The ruins of a palace that some call the pearl of Silesian Baroque. The Hatzfeldt family built it in 1655. A hundred years later it was rebuilt in a beautiful Baroque style. Also history: it was here in 1813 that the Żmigród Protocol was signed, i.e. the plan for the final defeat of Napoleon.

Unfortunately, the Red Army set everything on fire in 1945 and the palace fell into ruin for many years.

The castle, which dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries, was destroyed by the Red Army at the end of World War II.

The Żmigród Palace was built by the von Hatzfeld family in 1655 on the site of a former castle, and later redesigned around 1755 by Carl Gothard Langhans, the renowned Prussian architect who also designed Berlin's Brandenburg Gate. In 1813, the palace's White Hall hosted the signing of the Żmigród Protocol, a crucial agreement for Napoleon's final defeat, attended by Russian Tsar Alexander I, Prussian King Frederick William III, and British and Austrian envoys.

The Red Army set fire to the palace in January 1945, destroying the beautiful southern wing completely, and the remaining ruins have stood abandoned ever since.
