A pompous word for such a place, but let it be. On the shore of the lake there is a pier with a nice view.

The cloisters of the monastery in Skeppe. And the Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Skeppe (which didn't fit in the name). A sanctuary and monastery built in the early 16th century on the site of private revelations, a center of Marian devotion.

The 19th century manor house, for the Zieliński family, was expanded in the 1930s. It was rebuilt twice. Gustaw Zieliński added a single-storey annex on the side of the road, which housed a kitchen and dining room. Later, Gustaw's grandson - Stanisław Zieliński - added a new wing and guest rooms. The manor house was not destroyed during World War II. After the war, the estate was owned by the State Agricultural Farm in Wioska. The manor house was used as offices, apartments for employees, a recreation room and a warehouse. The manor house building was destroyed.
