It is a residential complex consisting of two palaces (the Old Palace and the New Palace) and a beautiful park. It is also a cultural and recreational center. There is even a museum of old, historic pianos!

The current manor house was built by Bascha von Kries at the beginning of the 20th century. It is an Art Nouveau manor house. It was built on a rectangular plan, has two storeys, covered with a gentle hipped roof, and its façade faces west. It is surrounded by a partially preserved park from the same period. It is currently privately owned. The previous manor house existed here in the Middle Ages under the name Fredaw (other names in documents include: Slawke, Fredenam, Ober-Thauer, Hoch-Thauer, Friedenau). The first known owner in the 15th century was Cezariusz Watzenrode from Toruń.

The history of this place in a nutshell: Ostromecko Old Palace - already in the 13th century it was the site of a former knight's manor, and later in the 16th century a noble manor. In the 1750s, in place of the modest noble residence in Ostromecko, Paweł Michał Mostowski of the Dołęga coat of arms (1721–1781), Pomeranian voivode in the years 1758–1763, built a palace in the Dresden Baroque style, now called the Old Palace. After the first partition of Poland in 1772, Ostromecko was incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia. From 1804, the owners became the wealthy merchant family Schönborn from Grudziądz. In 1832, Jakub Martin Schönborn commissioned the construction of a new residence, the so-called New Palace. At the same time, he began to arrange a landscape park in the English style, designed by the Prussian royal gardener. In 1873, the Schonborn and Alvensleben families were united in Ostromecko (Marta Matylda Maria Schönborn + Albrecht von Alvensleben) At the end of the 19th century, the Ostromecko estate was one of the largest in the Chełmno district. It covered an area of 3,000. hectares, where seven farms, a sawmill, a distillery, a brickyard and a mineral water plant operated. In 1920, under the Treaty of Versailles, Ostromecko was incorporated into the Polish state. The Ostromecko estate was then managed by Count Joachim von Alvensleben - a Polish citizen, of German nationality, of the Evangelical denomination, with a favorable attitude towards the Polish authorities. He employed Poles and parceled out land for them, and in 1930 he financed the monument of freedom in Ostromecko in honor of the 10th anniversary of regaining independence. In 1945, the Avensleben palaces, park and mausoleum were plundered by Soviet Army soldiers and the local population. After World War II, as part of the agricultural reform, the estates of the Alvensleben-Schonborn family were taken over by the State Treasury. In 1985, the Old Palace was taken over by the Pomeranian Philharmonic as its branch. Ignacy Paderewski in Bydgoszcz. The palace and park complex in Ostromecko was called "Bydgoszcz Wilanów" and it was planned to transform it into a cultural center radiating to the entire region. The Old Palace houses a collection (125 items) of contemporary Polish paintings and graphics, as well as a collection of 50 antique pianos and grand pianos. Additionally, valuable books and reprints of old works, mainly related to the Enlightenment era, have been collected here. Currently, all palace buildings are owned by the City of Bydgoszcz. source[https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zesp%C3%B3%C5%82_pa%C5%82acowo-parkowy_w_Ostromecku]
