Finckenstein Palace in Kamieniec, Baroque palace in Kamieniec, Poland

The palace stands with brick walls and features architectural elements characteristic of early 18th-century European noble residences constructed between 1716 and 1720.

During the spring of 1807, Napoleon Bonaparte established his temporary residence at Finckenstein Palace, using it as a base during his military operations.

The palace represents the architectural traditions of Prussian nobility, designed by Jean de Bodt for the Finck von Finckenstein family in the Warmian-Masurian region.

The ruins of the palace remain accessible to visitors, located approximately 40 kilometers south of Elbląg in northern Poland's Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.

The Red Army's actions on January 22, 1945, transformed this grand residence into its current state of ruins during their advance through Prussia.
