The hunting palace of the Radziwiłł princes in Antonin was built in the years 1822-1824 by the German architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Its construction is erected on a Greek cross plan, it contains the main body with an octagonal shape and four lower wings added. The whole building is in the shade of 'Tsarist yellow'. The interior is filled with a large, three-story room with a decorative ceiling. For years, Antoni Radziwiłł hosted numerous artists in the palace, including Frederic Chopin. On the facade of the palace there is a plaque commemorating these visits, and at the entrance to the palace area there is a monument to the composer. In the years 1975–1978 the palace underwent a general renovation thanks to Jerzy Waldorff, after which it was awarded the 'Europa Nostra'94' award for renovation and transformed into a hotel. The landscape architecture around the palace is also impressive, as is a large English-style park with a pond and rich flora. In the center of the pond, there is a tombstone of Radziwiłł's daughters made of white marble. Currently, the owner of the object is the Culture and Art Center in Kalisz, which conducts cultural activities in the Palace. It organizes concerts and music festivals at the highest world level. The most important of them is the International Festival "Chopin in the Colors of Autumn". The palace also offers hotel services in the form of 28 beds in 14 stylish rooms and palace suites, as well as a restaurant and cafe. Nearby attractions include the Wydymacz reserve, hiking and cycling routes on on the edge of the Barycz Valley Landscape Park, swimming pool and beach in the summer season by the Szperek reservoir, Wojciech Bogusławski Theater in Kalisz, Kaliska Philharmonic, AGRO-SPA Chynowa.
