The outbuildings and residential buildings complex together with the neo-Renaissance palace and park constitute a well-preserved palace and farm arrangement.

The outbuilding, modeled on a neo-Renaissance Italian villa, is surrounded by a wall with towers imitating a romantic castle. Wooden watermill from mid 19th century is one of the oldest preserved in the province, kept in the so-called Swiss style, rare in these areas.

History of the structure

In the first half of the 15th century, the right-bank part of Ciechanowiec (the so-called Nowe Miasto - New Town) together with the Nowy Dwór - New Court farm belonged to the Ciechanowiecki family, descendants of the first documented owner of the town, Paweł Strumiłło. In the years 1663-1676, the right-bank and left-bank of Ciechanowiec was owned by Eleonora Jabłonowska, Nursk land owner. In 1703, she sold these properties to the Ossoliński family, who held them until 1801. At the beginning of the 19th century, the town was owned by Prussian officials: Schimmelfenik von der Oye and Fridrik von Kuehlen. In 1806, Nowy Dwór was bought by Antoni Szczuka, and around 1854, it was purchased from him by Michał Konstanty, count Starzeniaski and his wife Elżbieta née Ożarowska. They were the ones who next to an old brick-made manor house erected an outbuilding (around 1860), a coach house and a stable (1866), and around 1875, on the site of the former brick manor, they built a neo-Renaissance palace designed by Julian Ankiewicz. Nowodwory remained in the hands of the Starzyński family until 1939, but earlier - in 1936 - they sold the watermill to the Małysk family. During World War II, the palace burnt down, and after 1945 the property was nationalized. In 1963, the Museum of Agriculture was established, which in 1969 was located in the rebuilt Palace of the Starzyski family, soon after enlarged by the area of the former farm. Around 1970, the open-air museum also included a watermill bought from a private owner. After the reconstruction of the mill's fixtures it became part of the museum exhibition. Next to the former stable there is the Veterinary Museum, in the former coach house an exhibition of rural means of transport, and in the former outbuilding, museum workshops.

Description of the structure

The complex is located in the north-western part of Ciechanowiec called Nowodwory, it reaches Pałacowa Street on its western side, Czyżewska Street on its northern side, and the Ralka river on the east and south. Wooden building structures translocated from the surrounding towns have been placed in northern and southern parts of the former palace and farm complex. A neo-Renaissance outbuilding, a watermill in the so-called Swiss style.

Most of the farm buildings are located in the entrance part of the complex, around the lawn and driveway. The stable and coach house (1866) are located on both sides of the main gate on the palace axis, included in the enclosure surrounding the complex from the west. Coach house is a one-storey brick building on a rectangular floor plan, with a usable loft and attic. Its plastered walls are enlivened by brick details in the form of pilasters, strips, window bands and arched lintels. To the south of it there is a stable on a horseshoe plan, consisting of a one-story central building and two side wings with usable attics. Its elevations are also covered with plaster, and the brick details are placed on the gable walls and around window and door openings. To the south from the lawn there is a brick outbuilding (ca.1860) on the plan of the letter L, consisting of four blocks of different heights: the ground-floor part on the north topped with a stylized attic, the middle grand-floor part, a side wing raised by a mezzanine, and the two-story corner part (south-eastern). The plastered elevations are divided by narrow cornices, and a wooden porch on pillars adjoins the front elevation. From south and east, the yard behind the outbuilding is surrounded by a high wall with two corner towers on the western side included in the enclosure of the complex. The mill, erected around 1850 from a beam in a log structure, is located in the southern part of the complex, on the tributary of the Ralka river, which flows into the pond. Built on the plan of the letter L, it consists of the ground-floor western part and raised by a residential attic eastern part. The elevations of the building are decorated with window panels, narrow window drips, openwork windchests; gables are vertically boarded.

Visitor access: The site is accessible to visitors during the museum opening hours.
