The seventeenth-century palace with a park of one of the most powerful families of Prussian nobility, Lehndorff, who lived in the town of Sztynort from 1572 to 1945. The Lehndorffs came from the Stango family, who lived in Chełmno land in the pre-Teutonic times. Today's name Sztynort comes from the German Steinort which means in a free translation a stone horn. Probably this name came from the rocky shoal known to sailors on Lake Dargin, now called the Stones of Stuart. The Lehndorff family residence, preserved to this day, was built in several stages. The first building was destroyed in the 16th century. The second building was erected in the years 1554-1572, and its traces remained in the lower parts of the main body of today's building.

The seventeenth-century palace with a park of one of the most powerful families of Prussian nobility, Lehndorff, who lived in the town of Sztynort from 1572 to 1945. The Lehndorffs came from the Stango family, who lived in Chełmno land in the pre-Teutonic times. Today's name Sztynort comes from the German Steinort which means in a free translation a stone horn. Probably this name came from the rocky shoal known to sailors on Lake Dargin, now called the Stones of Stuart. The Lehndorff family residence, preserved to this day, was built in several stages. The first building was destroyed in the 16th century. The second building was erected in the years 1554-1572, and its traces remained in the lower parts of the main body of today's building. The construction of the present palace was carried out by Maria Eleonora von Dönhoff in the years 1689-1691 using the foundations of an earlier building. A two-storey building was erected with a small projection on the facade axis topped with a high, flattened pediment. The whole was covered with a hip, large, steep roof. The interior of the palace is three-tract, in the great hall there were representative rooms and two-stage oak stairs. The interiors were decorated with polychrome wooden ceilings, stuccoes, oil-painted plafonds, decorative fireplaces and stoves. On the north side of the palace there was a vast park. At that time it was one of the largest parks, 18 hectares. It had regular avenues with oak, rich flower ground floors, interesting species of trees and shrubs. The whole was decorated with numerous sculptures. A sundial made in 1741 stood in a clearing in the middle of the park. It is worth mentioning that near the palace there was once a Lehndorff mausoleum in the shape of an octagonal rotunda with a stellar vault. The chapel in which the remains of the family members rested was built in 1858. However, it was destroyed during the war.
