DROGOSZE / Dönhoffstädt

    The biggest palace of Warmia and Mazury
was built in the years 1710-1716 by Bogusław
F. Dönhoff. It became the main residence of the family. It had a theatre, chapel and orangery
and was surrounded by an extensive park with
a lot of statues, pavilions and ponds. Nearby
there was a modern grange – you can still see
a preserved neo-Gothic brick barn. In 1816
Stanisław O. Dönhoff, the last male descendant
of the house, was killed in a duel.

    From the mid-19^th century the palace
belonged to the Stolberg-Wernigerode family.
After World War II it housed a farming school.
At present the palace is in private hands.

    In the village you can visit the 14^th century church (rebuilt in the 16^th c.) with the Dönhoffs tomb chapel of 1742.
