Drogosze Palace

Drogosze Palace (Polish: Pałac rodu von Dönhoff w Drogoszach or Polish: Pałac w Drogoszach; German: Schloss Dönnhoffstädt) is a baroque palace in Drogosze, in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in Poland, constructed between 1710 and 1714.

It was the seat of the Dönhoff family, members of the Prussian nobility. The palace was one of the so-called 'royal palaces' of the former province of East Prussia, which could be used by the king of Prussia while travelling around. Due to its 100 metres wide façade, it was the largest palace in Masuria and one of the largest in East Prussia as well.

Today, the palace is in poor condition and deteriorating. Also, the landscape park is fully neglected.
