Tamsel Castle, Duncker Collection

The Tamsel Castle ( Palac Dąbroszyn in Polish ) is located in the place Dąbroszyn ( Tamsel in German ) and was built by Hans Adam von Schöning around 1686 after his return from the siege of Ofen (1684/1686) (now Budapest ) and the successful storming with the help of Greek craftsmen built. Before the Battle of Zorndorf in 1758, the castle was sacked by Russian troops and much was destroyed.  

The plant became famous through Theodor Fontane and his work Walks through the Mark Brandenburg . Here he went into the history and lovely location of the castle. The time when Crown Prince Friedrich, later King Friedrich II of Prussia, visited the castle several times during his years of service in the Küstriner War and Domain Chamber , made the place famous.

“I believed that I should linger in more detail when listing everything that Tamsel has to offer in terms of memories and art treasures, because for more than a century this beautiful country estate has played the role of not only a historical setting, but also to be a foster home for the arts. "

After the Katte affair , which led to the death of Friedrich's childhood friend Hans Hermann von Katte , he was able to find variety in music and company here. The Crown Prince raved about Luise Eleonore von Wreech, who was only five years his senior . At that time she was the heiress and mistress of Schloss Tamsel.

In the last days of World War II, the commander of the First Byelorussian Front , General Zhukov, lived in the undamaged castle while preparing for the Berlin operation . Towards the end of the war it was used as a military hospital for the Red Army . Later it was used for various purposes in the place that fell to Poland after the Potsdam Agreement .

Since 2000, with the help of an heiress from Germany (Jutta von der Lancken ), the castle has been restored and put into cultural use.

In the meantime, the lower floor could be restored with EU funds up to 2004. However, the funds were only sufficient for part of the work and meanwhile the castle is half-finished for sale, an investor is being sought.
