Only at the beginning of the 20th century (1902) did the landowner August Schulze commission the construction of the current, representative neo-Gothic palace. The building has a T-shaped ground plan.

Part of the Saxon noble family of Billerbeck spread through Mecklenburg and Brandenburg to Pomerania in the late Middle Ages and flourished there until the 17th century. The Billerbeck family was the first owner of the present-day settlement of Nadarzyn, which is why the village retained this name until 1945. In the 18th century, Billerbeck became a manorial village. It wasn't until the early 20th century (1902) that landowner August Schulze commissioned the construction of the current stately palace in the neo-Gothic style. The building has a T-shaped ground floor plan. At the rear is a large ballroom, which was divided after 1945. Until early 2010, the palace housed rented apartments. During its post-war use, the rooms were only slightly altered and transformed, thanks to which its representative interior architecture has been preserved to this day. In 2014, the empty palace in Nadarzyn was put up for sale and is now privately owned.

The first mention of Korytów in documents dates back to 1237, when Władysław Odonio donated the village to the Order of St. John. In 1269, the village was taken over by the Brandenburgers and transferred as a fief to the von Wedel family. It was the Wedels who erected the first fortified residence in this place, which was rebuilt several times in subsequent centuries. The palace acquired its current appearance around 1890. After World War II, it housed apartments, and then it was owned by the State Agricultural Farm. After the political changes, it was abandoned and fell into ruin. Today, it is under renovation. The area of the palace and the administrator's building next to it is fenced with a high fence and overgrown. It is difficult to see anything. There is also no sign that the renovation is progressing.

The best preserved fragment of the defensive walls of Recz. The walls were built in the 14th-15th century from field stones. They were about 1.10-1.20 m thick, and at their highest point they reached a height of 5 m. The outline of the walls has been preserved on almost the entire perimeter, but most often it is just a low wall. In this place, in addition to the wall, two towers have also been preserved.

Private property but walkable. The ruins are under maintenance, a fantastic view of the Ina valley, countless Cranes and Egrets.

The castle was probably built in the mid-14th century. Previously, there was a wooden and earth castle here, built around 1310 by representatives of the Wedel family, and later destroyed in 1338 by the troops of the Szczecin prince Barnim III. The castle did not stand for long either. It was probably abandoned around 1500, and the Wedels moved to a new seat built in Krępcewo. The Wedels themselves began the demolition of the castle to obtain building material, and it was completed by local residents in later centuries. Today, the remains of the castle are in private hands. The area has been tidied up, the foundations of the tower have been excavated. Loose stones have been reinforced with new mortar. The castle grounds host an outdoor event called "Gate of Time" every year in June. The program includes reconstructions of knight fights and historical events, displays of medieval weapons, and other attractions.

The defensive walls in Recz were built of field stone, probably with a brick superstructure. They did not have battlements, it is possible that they were topped with hoardings. They had a thickness of about 1.10 - 1.20 meters, and their height at the highest point reached 5 meters. In the second half of the fourteenth century, the wall was raised to a height of 6 - 7 meters. Their full circumference was about 1,470 meters and was reinforced with evenly spaced towers.
