Palace

Over the centuries, Pstrowice has appeared in historical sources under various names: Pisservitz, Pitzstervitze, and Pitzerwitz. Linguists link the name to the loach fish, found in the nearby Pstrowice stream. The history of Pstrowice dates back to the 13th century. It is connected to the presence of the local parish priest when the lands of Pyrzyce were granted to the Augustinian nuns. Since then, the village has changed hands many times, eventually coming into the possession of the Heldt family. It was on their initiative, in the early 20th century, that the reconstruction of the manor house—which had stood for less than a quarter of a century—began. The existing building was enlarged and covered with a wooden mansard roof. A small balcony, situated on the central axis, stands out from the palace’s Neo-Baroque structure. The balcony doors are adorned with a frame and a keystone. At the same time, a 17th-century stone granary was also rebuilt, and a park surrounding the palace was laid out. In 1945, the front line swept through Pstrowice. As a result of the war, the palace was destroyed and has been abandoned ever since. Since 1991, it has been in private hands, along with the park and the remaining buildings. The new owners have restored the palace’s facade and the granary and have landscaped the park.
