The Palace in Uszyce, built in the second half of the 18th century, is – next to the historic church – one of the tourist attractions of the village. The history of the building is inextricably linked with the history of Uszyce. The oldest document testifying to their existence comes from the second half of the 14th century, when the village was the property of the Wiplar family. Probably in this period, the first manor house in the village was created, which could have had a defensive character. At the beginning of the 20th century, the estate was sold to the Prussian state, and its tenant was Fritz von Protatius. In the interwar period, among others, an agricultural school operated in the manor. Currently, the renovated edifice houses a primary and junior high school for children with educational problems and mild intellectual disability, run by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. The object is surrounded by a landscape park with ruins of a classicist manor mausoleum. In the park, one can find foundations of a chapel probably from the mid-19th century, where the owners of the manor were buried with their families. In front of the palace stands a magnificent nature monument – a 220-year-old London plane. Practical information: The palace is not open to visitors. Free admission to the park. Parking directly in front of the facility.
