In a village there is a baroque palace from 1742, designed in oriental style by Franciszek Placidi. It was built by a noble Stanisław Rupniewski, who spent some time in a Turkish captivity and converted himself to Islam. The palace was nicknamed "harem" by the neighbors. The palace is in private hands and can be viewed from the outside.
