Palace and park complex from the 19th century. The first mention of the village dates back to 1423. It was then listed as a knight's estate in the Biergłowice prosecutor's office. Over the years, the estate was owned by, among others, Załuskowski, Kolbe, Łaszewski. Since the 19th century, Brąchnówko belonged to the Schedlin-Czarliński family. Emil Czarliński (1833-1913) built the current palace here. The last owner of the estate before the outbreak of World War II was Leon Schedlin-Czarliński. After the war, the State Treasury became the owner of the estate. The palace and park were devastated and neglected. The palace was restored in 1994. It is an eclectic building with classicist features, two-story, on a square plan, with a basement, and a hipped roof. The elevations are decorated with modest architectural details: rustication, ground floor windows framed by pilasters and closed with decorative cornices, mezzanine windows divided by panels. In front of the entrance located in the facade, there is a driveway, above which there is a balcony supported by four pillars. On the south side, there is a second entrance with a small veranda, topped with a triangular gable. Side single-flight stairs lead to it. The park layout was quite large and surrounded the entire palace. Originally, it was an English park and had an area of about 2.5 hectares. Currently, it is much smaller. Fortunately, some of the park trees survived the period of neglect. These are plane trees, pines, chestnut trees, black locust and common hornbeam. Some of the trees have the status of a Natural Monument and are appropriately marked. The entire complex is currently owned by the Chełmża Commune. (according to "Polish Monuments")

The history of this place in a nutshell: Ostromecko Old Palace - already in the 13th century it was the site of a former knight's manor, and later in the 16th century a noble manor. In the 1750s, in place of the modest noble residence in Ostromecko, Paweł Michał Mostowski of the Dołęga coat of arms (1721–1781), Pomeranian voivode in the years 1758–1763, built a palace in the Dresden Baroque style, now called the Old Palace. After the first partition of Poland in 1772, Ostromecko was incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia. From 1804, the owners became the wealthy merchant family Schönborn from Grudziądz. In 1832, Jakub Martin Schönborn commissioned the construction of a new residence, the so-called New Palace. At the same time, he began to arrange a landscape park in the English style, designed by the Prussian royal gardener. In 1873, the Schonborn and Alvensleben families were united in Ostromecko (Marta Matylda Maria Schönborn + Albrecht von Alvensleben) At the end of the 19th century, the Ostromecko estate was one of the largest in the Chełmno district. It covered an area of 3,000. hectares, where seven farms, a sawmill, a distillery, a brickyard and a mineral water plant operated. In 1920, under the Treaty of Versailles, Ostromecko was incorporated into the Polish state. The Ostromecko estate was then managed by Count Joachim von Alvensleben - a Polish citizen, of German nationality, of the Evangelical denomination, with a favorable attitude towards the Polish authorities. He employed Poles and parceled out land for them, and in 1930 he financed the monument of freedom in Ostromecko in honor of the 10th anniversary of regaining independence. In 1945, the Avensleben palaces, park and mausoleum were plundered by Soviet Army soldiers and the local population. After World War II, as part of the agricultural reform, the estates of the Alvensleben-Schonborn family were taken over by the State Treasury. In 1985, the Old Palace was taken over by the Pomeranian Philharmonic as its branch. Ignacy Paderewski in Bydgoszcz. The palace and park complex in Ostromecko was called "Bydgoszcz Wilanów" and it was planned to transform it into a cultural center radiating to the entire region. The Old Palace houses a collection (125 items) of contemporary Polish paintings and graphics, as well as a collection of 50 antique pianos and grand pianos. Additionally, valuable books and reprints of old works, mainly related to the Enlightenment era, have been collected here. Currently, all palace buildings are owned by the City of Bydgoszcz. source[https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zesp%C3%B3%C5%82_pa%C5%82acowo-parkowy_w_Ostromecku]

The Park and Palace Complex in Ostromecko is also a place of interesting cultural events, including publicly available ones, often organized outdoors near the palace, which can be combined with a bicycle trip. I still remember Sunday bicycle trips from Toruń to Ostromecko combined with an open-air concert of excellent opera performers as part of the publicly available Sunday "Music Terraces" under the new palace. https://www.komoot.com/pl-pl/tour/1676977928
