Ugoszcz
In the 18th century the village of Ugoszcz belonged to the Zieliński family (Świnka coat of arms) and in the 19th century it was owned by the Borzewski family. The Dziewanowski family of Szafarnia and Fryderyk Chopin were hosted by Antoni Borzewski, a brother to Honorata Dziewanowska nee Borzewska. The manor house of the Borzewski family, in which young Chopin used to stay, no longer exists. However, there is a well preserved gate, which still remembers the composer. |
In 1834 Antoni Borzewski received the village of Sokołowo from Antoni Wybraniecki as a donation. Zdzisław Borzewski, Antoni’s son, was a constructor of the eclectic palace in Ugoszcz erected in the second half of the 19th century. After the Second World War the palace housed a primary school and presently it is the seat of the Welfare Centre. The palace is surrounded by a park with monumental trees and an impressive Rococo style gate dating back to the 18th century. On the left side of the palace there are farm buildings and behind the palace there is a large lake.
