The defensive attributes of this location were already appreciated by the Teutonic Knights, who built the first defensive fortifications here. Documented written sources from 1352 refer to the estates of knights being established in the Grazymy area. The von Borcke family initially owned this estate.             The arched stonework basements are retained from earlier structures. A new owner, Albrecht von Stein, erected the present palace in 1921. As an expression of his passion for architecture, Sir Albrecht designed the family residence himself, which became famous for its luxurious accoutrements, especially its 12 toilets and 8 baths.             The Grazymy Palace Stove is a copy made near the beginning of the XX century by Walther Wendel from Malbork, decorated with cobalt blue, imitating the style of XVII century Dutch ceramic work.   Front Side   Back Side   Right Side   Left Side   *SHIPPED IN FULLY PROTECTED PACKAGE* *BE SURE AND DECIDED BEFORE PURCHASING* *NO RETURNS*         Place a Bid!
