Kamieniec Ząbkowicki Palace (German: Schloss Kamenz) - a monumental nineteenth-century Neo-Gothic palace, located in the village of Kamieniec Ząbkowicki, Poland (until 1945 Kamenz, Germany).[1]
History
The builder and first owner of the Kamieniec Ząbkowicki Palace (then known as Schloss Kamenz) was Princess Marianne of the Netherlands, who in 1838, commissioned the construction of the palace to Karl Friedrich Schinkel. In 1848, construction works were halted due to Princess Marianne's divorce with Prince Albert of Prussia, only to be renewed in 1853. In 1858, the terrace gardens were designed by Peter Joseph Lenné, the General Director of Prussian Parks. In 1873, and with the marriage of Albrecht's son, Princess Marianne granted Albert property rights.[2] During World War II, the Germans used the palace complex as a transit station for ransacked art works. After 1945, the interior of the palace was either looted or devastated, with part of the marble salvaged to construct the Congress Hall at the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw.[3]
Presently, successive renovation works since 2013, financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of Poland have secured the property, opening the site to tourists.[4][5]
