The palace was built in 1889–1894 by order of Alexander III to a design by Count Nicolas de Rochefort, on territory then within the Russian Empire; today it is in Poland. The two-storey building had about 120 rooms; service buildings were erected nearby and a landscape park by Walery Kronenberg was laid out from 1895. The palace burned down in July 1944 and the ruins were dismantled in 1961; the park, the entrance gate and several service buildings survive. The headquarters of Białowieża National Park stands on the site.
