Biechów is a village located in the Nysa district, in the Pakosławice municipality. In the Latin Book of endowments of the Bishopric of Wrocław, written during the times of Bishop Henryk from Wierzbno in the years 1295–1305, the town is mentioned in the Latinized form Bechow, in a series of villages located under Polish law. The first mentions concern its connections with the Otmuchów castellany. The Biechów properties passed from hand to hand multiple times – they belonged, among others, to the families Stosche, Wirchlass und Rosenber, von Starhemberg, von Hoditz, von Mintbach, and from 1856 to 1945 to the Matuschka family. The landed estates in Biechów were gathered within a grange, which was constantly modernized, up to the last reconstruction in 1904. The palace, which was created on the initiative of the Matuschka family, dates from the mid-19th century. It was built according to the plans of the architect Karl Lüdecke from Wrocław, on the site of a Neo-Renaissance residence that burned down in a fire. After the Polish administration took control of the Nysa land, the then authorities secured the property preserved from war destruction as part of the collection of the museum being created in Nysa. The palace is surrounded by a 19th-century landscape park, to which a forest complex adjoins. The educational path "Biechów Ravines" runs through its area.
