Brody (once Pförten) – the residence of earl Henryk von Brühl (1700-1763).

The palace was built for the Promnitz family in 1670-1674. A Sas minister Henryk von Brühl bought Brody in 1740 and developed the town, the park and the palace (1741-1749).
The palace was set on fire in 1758 and the garden surrounding it was devastated. The whole complex became the property of the Prussian rulers. Fryderyk August von Brühl (Henryk’s son) had regained the palace and rebuilt it.
