The small wooden palace was built as a hunting lodge for Polish aristocrat Prince Antoni Radziwiłł between 1822 and 1824 by the German architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, and named after its owner.

In his later life, Antoni Radziwiłł and his wife Princess Louise of Prussia moved permanently to Antonin with two daughters Wanda and Eliza.

Antoni Radziwiłł was a well-connected composer among European musical circles and with time transformed the Antonin property into a popular musical salon among greatest talents of the area such as Niccolò Paganini, Frédéric Chopin and Ludwig van Beethoven.

Chopin gave music lessons to Antoni Radziwiłł's daughter Wanda during his stays at the property.
