The Royal Palace – the Palace of the Prussian kings in the Polish city of Wroclaw, formerly known as the Palace of Breslau. Currently there is the City Museum of Wroclaw.
The Palace was built in 1717 in the style of Viennese palaces for Baron Heinrich Gottfried von Spathen. In 1750, after Prussia took control of Silesia, the Palace was bought by the Prussian king Friedrich the Great and converted into his residence. In 1751-1753, the building was extended by the Royal architect Johann Boumann. After the death of Frederick the Great in 1786, the Palace became the property of Frederick William II of Prussia. He invited the architect Karl Gotthard Langhans to rebuild the building in the classical style. Two wings were built, the surrounding Northern courtyard.
In 1845, the architect Friedrich August Stuler rebuilt the Palace in the style of the Italian Renaissance, building the new South wing and open-air pavilions.
In 1918 the Palace was donated to the city of Breslau. In September 1926 the Museum was opened with an exhibition dedicated to Frederick the Great. The Museum has reconstructed the interiors of that period, as well as a collection of works of art Silesia.
In may 1945 the Palace was badly damaged during the siege of the city at the end of the Second world war. In 1960, the Palace was divided: in one wing housed the Archaeological Museum, and in other Ethnographic Museum. In 2008, the renovation was completed, opened a new Museum about the history of Wroclaw.
