The palace, which is now a permanent ruin, is the main attraction of the palace and park complex in Żmigród. After revitalization and reconstruction of the front facade, it was made available to tourists. Fragments of the palace chapel from 1683 and some of the walls and rooms have survived to the present day. The cellars and the interior of the tower now house a restaurant and a club. Walking platforms were also built in the ruins.
The palace itself has a very interesting history. It was first mentioned in 1296. In the years 1706-1708 it was transformed into a magnificent baroque residence covered with a mansard roof. In 1813, the palace hosted the Tsar of Russia, Alexander I, and the Prussian King, Frederick William III, who, together with British and Austrian envoys, worked out a plan to defeat Napoleon. These arrangements were later called the Trachenberg or Żmigród protocol. In 1945, the palace was burnt down by the Red Army.
The ruins of the Hatzfeld Palace are surrounded by a large park, established in the second half of the 18th century. In its southern part, you can see the ruins of an orangery from 1800.
