Breslau Palace, now known as Wrocław Palace in Wrocław (Breslau), Poland was bought by Frederick the Great of Prussia from the Baron of Spätgen in 1750 and converted into a royal residence.

The building was badly damaged in 1945, during the Second World War. About a half of the building remains today, and houses the city museum.
