The feature has a regional value.

History

The palace in Mińsk Mazowiecki is the most splendid monument of secular architecture in the town. According to recent studies, the initial building was erected in the 16th century by the Wolski family, owners of Sandomierz, as a defensive manor. Only in the 17th century was the feature transformed into a palace with corner extensions by the Warszycki family - subsequent owners of Mińsk. In the years 1825-1828 the palace was reconstructed to the current, Classicist form by the Jezierski family. In 1870 the palace with the land property of 2,023 ha was taken over by the Dernałowicz family. From 1867 a park was developed around the palace. The palace was privately owned until 1944. Towards the end of World War II it was partially devastated. After the liberation, it housed a military hospital and a State Agricultural Holding. In years 1956-1959 the palace was restored and adapted to school purposes. Until 1974 it housed a secondary chemical school and a crèche. In the years 1976-1987 the palace underwent complete renovation to serve as a Municipal Culture Centre, Municipal Public Library and a seat of the Association of the Friends of Mińsk Mazowiecki. It also houses a “Pałacowa” restaurant.
