Antonin Palace is located nearby what is now Przygodzice in the voivodeship of Greater Poland. It was the hunting lodge of the Radziwill family and was constructed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in the years 1822 - 1824. As this plate illustrates, the palace's architecture was highly unusual, being designed on an octagonal ground plan with three stories centered around the monumental tiled oven in the middle.
