A palace built in 1689-1691under the commission of countess Maria Eleonora von Dӧnhoff, the wife of Ahasverus Gerhard von Lehndorff. The family estate was built on the foundations of an earlier structure, which had been constructed over the period of 1554-1572 (the cellars with cross and barrel vaults, as well as the three-bay layout, are vestiges of the previous palace). At the end of the 17th century, a two-storey palace was erected, covered with a steep hipped roof. A small avant-corps is topped with a high, flat pediment. The entryway features decorative, two-flight oak stairs. Countess von Dӧnhoff also set up an 18-hectare park stretching off to the north. Near the palace were flower parterres, then, further on – regular oak alleys. The park was also dotted with numerous sculptures. Along the centreline, on a clearing, was a 1741 sundial (later relocated to the courtyard of the museum in Morąg). The spot was frequented by Bishop Ignacy Krasicki. Currently, the palace and the park are being renovated with a view to completely restore the building and the landscape of the park.
