History

The history of the site begins in 1445, when it was owned by the Teutonic Knights. Up until the end of the Second World War in 1945, over 550 years, the property belonged to a single family. The present owner is only the second family name associated with it.

The present palace was built in mid XIX century, as a late classical structure, with neo-gothic elements.

It was constructed on an elongated rectangle, with the longer side parallel to the river.
