Neudeck Palace, Noble palace ruins in Świerklaniec, Poland.

The palace complex extended over 250 hectares, incorporating French architecture, extensive gardens, and multiple residential structures near Tarnowskie Góry County.

Built in 1868 under Count Guido Henckel von Donnersmarck's direction, the palace met its end when the Red Army set it ablaze during World War II.

The palace earned recognition as the Upper Silesian Versailles due to its French-inspired design by architects Pierre Manguin and Hector Lefuel.

Visitors can explore the preserved Cavalier Palace guest house, the Donnersmarck funeral chapel, and the 154-hectare park with century-old trees.

German Emperor Wilhelm II selected this palace as his regular hunting destination, leading to the elevation of its owner to princely status in 1901.
