The palace was built in 1689 by Balthazar von Unruh, the then owner of the Zatoń estate, in the form of a baroque manor house. In the years 1842-1843 it was rebuilt in a classicist form [1]. According to the latest findings, the author of the manor reconstruction project was W. Gurlt, the ducal construction officer from Otyń [2]. At the same time, the park around the palace began to be transformed, probably according to the design of Piotr Lenné [3].

These works were commissioned by the Duchess of Żagań Dorota de Talleyrand-Périgord, who moved here in the 1840s. The best period in the history of the palace coincides with the duchess's stay. In 1841, the King of Prussia, Frederick William IV, and his wife visited Zatonie [4].

After the death of Princess Dorothy in 1862, her younger son, Alexander Edmund, Marquis de Talleyrand-Périgord, became the owner of the palace. On his initiative, at the beginning of the 1870s, the palace and the adjacent orangery were rebuilt according to the design of A. Jaekel [5].

Burned down in 1945, it was not rebuilt.

In 2020, a rebuilt orangery was opened, which houses a cafe, the park has also been revitalized, after dusk you can see the beautiful illuminations of the ruins of the palace.

The ruins of the palace in Zatonie. The external and internal walls have been preserved. Only the roof and ceilings are missing. The ruins are tidy and the rooms are described. In front of the palace there is a fountain with a reconstruction of the Boy with a Swan sculpture, and next to it in the orangery there is a restaurant. The whole is surrounded by a very large park. It is a very nicely developed place, definitely worth recommending.

A place with great historical potential. Secured palace ruins, orangery, large park complex with rare trees and small architecture.
