The building’s history spans several phases: it was built around 1770 for Antoni Łoś and extended around 1870. Between 1893 and 1904, the palace was extensively renovated and remodelled under the direction of architect Stanisław Borecki.

The park also contains an architectural feature from a later period: the ornamental entrance gate to the palace, dating from the early 20th century. Together with the palace’s architecture, it offers a glimpse of different design phases rather than a single construction date.
What characterises the landscape park and memorial site?
Jarogniewice’s landscape park is one of the oldest parks in Greater Poland and dates from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. Its age contrasts with its current condition: the park is heavily degraded. At the same time, it contains monumental specimens of swamp and English oak, European beech, and small-leaved and American linden. Understanding the park means considering its historical significance, the trees mentioned and its present condition together.
Jarogniewice is also home to a national memorial site dating from 1940, which is listed in the heritage protection register. The memorial in the Jarogniewice woods was renovated and unveiled again at a ceremony on 2 October. The palace, park and memorial site each represent different aspects of the town’s history.
