Do you have wine? Cup of tea? If so, sit back because we have a story for you.
You may know the German Emperor, Wilhelm II, for two reasons. One is well known: he was the last emperor of the German Empire. The second reason is more secret - he loved hunting and was really good at it. What you may not know is that he loved to hunt in the areas of today's northern Poland. There are also stones on which, for example, the following memory is engraved: "His Majesty, Emperor Wilhelm II shot a deer here on September 24, 1900." The Emperor liked hunting in this place so much that he ordered to put up a railway station that would serve as a summer residence for him. And since he was a lover of the Nordic style, a wooden building with elements referring to the Viking culture was built according to his taste. The emperor eagerly spent his summer days there and enjoyed the beauty of nature, although one cannot be sure whether it was nature alone who seduced him. There were rumours that the romantic emperor not only loved hunting, but also the Count, who had his residence nearby, and they enjoyed each other's company. Nobody knows, but the proof of the Emperor's numerous visits has survived to our times, the "welcoming imperial pavilion", a witness to history. You could say that they all lived long (true) and happily (less true), but the most honest thing is to say that the imperial railway station lived the longest. Especially since it was moved from Prakwice to Budwity and the pavilion remained there.
128 years later, we stood in the Masurian countryside in front of a mysterious, falling into ruin and forgotten building in Budwity. Its story spoke to us and its lost grace, which we wanted to restore. Conservation and renovation works that lasted for 5 years have brought the desired effect. The old charm of imperial interiors has returned. A unique atmosphere has returned.
Today, we invite you to a place that has not only a great history but also a wonderful "present". Cosy interiors soothe the senses, the intimate spa guarantees a bit of luxury, and the surrounding wild nature allows you to forget what year it is.
We invite you to become part of this story.

My husband Rafał and I are history and nature lovers. We have been involved in the conservation of monuments for twenty years. One day, a friend from the Monuments Protection Office called us and asked us to leave National road 7 and check whether "Budwity is still standing". That day, our journey ended on a non-existent platform and we knew that we had found our destination by accident.
