Friedrichstein Palace (German: Schloss Friedrichstein is a former baroque palace near Königsberg, East Prussia. It was constructed between 1709 and 1714 based on a design by Jean de Bodt. The palace was the main residence of the Dönhoff family. The German journalist and publisher Marion Dönhoff was born at the palace and grew up here. The palace was one of the so-called 'royal palaces' of East Prussia, which could be used by the king of Prussia while travelling around. In January 1945, the Red Army looted and destroyed the palace. It was considered one of the most beautiful stately homes in Prussia.
Today, nothing remains anymore of the main building. The park still exists, and various ancillary buildings.
