Known as the East Prussian Versailles, Château de Dönhoffstädt is a sprawling Baroque-style palace nestled amid parkland in the village of Drogosze in the north of Poland.

The acreage was reportedly once the site of a previous palace that burned to the ground in the late 17th century. Following the disaster, the estate passed into the hands of Count Bogusław Friedrich von Dönhoff, a Prussian noble, who commissioned an extravagant new seat for the Dönhoff dynasty. The reborn palace was named Dönhoffstädt.

Constructed between 1710 and 1714, the mansion's vast square footage continued to grow in the decades that followed, with a chapel and additional wings added in 1725.
