Monuments
ul. Tarnowska 23, 33-160 Ryglice
The history of the palace and the manor house dates back to the 17th century.
It originally belonged to the Potocki family. In 1752, it became the property of the Ankwicz family. At that time, the manor was rebuilt, and a park and manor buildings such as stables, quadrangles, and a granary, were erected around it. In the 19th century, the manor became the property of the Leśniowski family, who transformed it into a palace by adding the south wing. It is a brick, one-storey building with a partial basement consisting of a main body and an adjoining side wing. Hip roofs cover the building over the body, and triple-pitched roofs cover the wing.
The front elevation of the body and the southern part of the wing with characteristic balconies supported by columns and surmounted by three-part semicircular gables-timpanums. After the Second World War, the palace was confiscated by the state and turned into an agricultural school, a health centre, and a library. It now houses the Secondary School Complex.
The park surrounding the palace was developed from an older terraced garden of the Italian type, dating from the second half of the 17th century. It was transformed and reconfigured in the first half of the 19th century. Today, the park layout consists of an oval tree-lined driveway in front of the chateau with a natural monument of a small-leaved lime tree, two ponds and the remains of a former orchard.
