Sibyllenort Palace (German: Schloss Sibyllenort or Polish: Pałac Sybilli) is a former palace in Szczodre, 12 kilometres north-east of Wrocław, Silesia, Poland. It was first the seat of the dukes of Oels, and later the private property of the royal Saxon family.[1] Due to its Tudor style, it was known as the Silesian Windsor.[2][3] It was destroyed in the last days of the Second World War, by soldiers of either the retreating SS or the Red Army (or both).

Today, only individual remnants of buildings and the vast, largely overgrown park bear witness to the once grand and representative castle complex.[1]
