Hunting palace of the Habsburgs in Cieszyn, Habsburg hunting palace in Cieszyn, Poland
The palace features a three-story central section with symmetrical wings, displaying classical elements including a Doric portico and Palladian architectural motifs.
Commissioned by Archduke Charles in 1840, architect Joseph Kornhäusel constructed the palace on the foundations of a previous castle destroyed during the Thirty Years War.
Franz Liszt performed concerts in the palace conservatory in 1846, establishing the venue as a center for musical performances in the region.
The building now houses both the Ignacy Paderewski State School of Music and the Zamek Cieszyn cultural institution, focusing on design and creativity.
During World War I, the palace served as headquarters for the Austro-Hungarian Army, hosting German Emperor Wilhelm II among other military leaders.
