The Classicist Bronikowski Palace was built around 1820 on a rectangular plan. Together with the farm buildings, it was a church and manor house, an important link of which was the currently non-existent linden alley running from the manor gate towards the tomb-mausoleum. It is surrounded by a 2.5-hectare park with alleys and dignified old trees: there are ash, linden and even plane trees.
 
At the beginning of September 1829, Frederik Chopin attended the wedding of Melania Bronikowska, the daughter of the village owner. It is commemorated by a plaque placed at the entrance to the palace and the monument of the 19-year-old composer unveiled in Żychlin on September 3, 2010 during the Regional Celebrations of the 200th anniversary of Fryderyk Chopin's birth. It is the first monument to young Chopin in Poland. The author of the monument is Marcin Mielcarek, a sculptor from Łódź. Currently, the palace houses the Economic and Service School Compound.
