Tamsel Castle (Pałac w Dąbroszynie) is a manor house in the Lubusz region near Kostrzyn nad Odrą, approximately 5 km from the German border. The original Baroque structure from 1780 was expanded around 1850 and given its present Neo-Gothic appearance by the Berlin architect Georg Friedrich Hitzig.
The building on a rectangular floor plan extends over three storeys. A shallow hipped roof with a surrounding crenellated parapet and decorative pinnacles at the corners completes the structure. On the garden side there is a central columned portico with a terrace in front. The façade is defined by regularly arranged window axes with decorative surrounds and pediments.
Among the notable owners were Adam Hans von Schöning, the families von Wreech and von Dönhoff and finally the family von Schwerin in whose possession the castle remained until the end of the Second World War. King Frederick II of Prussia is said to have been a frequent guest.
Since the 1990s it has been owned by the municipality of Witnica and has been used only sporadically since that time.
Numerous historic interior features from different periods have been preserved including Baroque ceilings, fireplaces, wall paneling, Corinthian columns and classical decorative elements.
