Sierakowski Palace in Waplewo Wielkie

Originally a modest brick manor built in the 17th century by Count Jan Biberstein-Zawadzki. In 1888 the Sierakowski family expanded the manor, giving it a palatial character. The estate remained in the hands of this family until World War II.

Museum

Since November 2006 the palace and park complex has been under the management of the National Museum in Gdańsk as the Museum of Noble Traditions. The building has a C-shaped plan, with a single-storey front façade and a Neoclassical rear section. It is surrounded by a landscape park with lime trees.
