Description: Kazimierza Wielkiego The Royal Palace - former Stadtschloss - is a palace of the Prussian monarchy, it now houses the city museum. Initially a Baroque palace of Heinrich Gottfried von Spätgen, chancellor of Bishop Francis Louis of Neuburg, it was built in 1717 in a Viennese style. In 1750, after Prussia took control over Silesia in the First Silesian War, the palace was purchased by the Prussian king Frederick the Great and was converted into his residence. In May 1945 the palace was heavily damaged during the siege of the city at the end of the Second World War. In 2008 a renovation was finished and a new museum was established, presenting 1,000 year history of Wrocław.
