About 17 km from the center of Bydgoszcz in the direction of Dąbrowa Chełmińska lies the Ostromecko Palace and Park Complex (9 Bydgoska St.). The New Palace was built in the Neoclassical style between 1832 and 1849 (based on a design by the studio of Karl Friedrich Schinkel) at the request of the then-owner of Ostromecko, Jakub Marcin Schoenborn. Adjacent to the main building on the south side is a Neo-Baroque wing, known as the Hunting Lodge (1891–1892), and on the north side is a ballroom dating from 1905. The complex currently houses a restaurant along with hotel facilities.
On the west side, the Palace is flanked by extensive terraces (circa 1912), leading directly to the 19th-century garden, designed in the English style by landscape architect Peter Joseph Lenné. We then head toward the Old Palace, located slightly further back in the garden. The building in its present form was constructed in the mid-18th century as a result of the expansion of a noble manor house by the Mostowski family. The palace, built in the Warsaw Rococo style, currently houses a collection of 18th- and 19th-century pianos assembled by Andrzej Szwalbe, an honorary citizen of Bydgoszcz, whose memorial room is located in the same building. From the palace windows, as well as from the terrace located behind the building, there is a picturesque view of the Italian garden stretching below, as well as the Vistula River and its oxbow lake. In the southwestern part of the palace park stands the mausoleum of the Schoenborn-Alvensleben family, the long-time owners of Ostromecko. The Palace and Park Complex, which is maintained by the city of Bydgoszcz, serves as an important cultural and entertainment hub for both the city and the entire Kuyavian-Pomeranian Province.
The Municipal Cultural Center in Bydgoszcz organizes numerous art openings, exhibitions, and concerts on the grounds of the complex.
In the immediate vicinity of the Palace and Park Complex stands the parish church dedicated to St. Nicholas, St. Stanislaus, and St. John the Baptist. The church was built in the Gothic style in 1630. The church tower dates back to 1764, when it was rebuilt by the then-owner of Ostromecko and, at the same time, the Pomeranian Voivode, Paweł Mostowski (his initials are visible on the finial of the church spire). The Baroque interior features, among other things, Gothic sculptures of the Virgin and Child and the Pietà. Ostromecko is also home to many interesting buildings dating from the period when the estate was owned by the Alvensleben family —the buildings of the former post office, hospital, stagecoach station, the late 19th-century railroad station, as well as a brickyard (the site of the brickyard is now occupied by the Mineral Water Plant). The first records of Ostromecko’s water date back to the 16th century. Exploitation of the spring began in 1894. Until the outbreak of World War I, the water from the Maria Spring was known as the Marien-Quelle. During World War II, water from Ostromecko—produced for the Wehrmacht—was shipped, among other places, to Africa, where the Germans were engaged in fierce battles with the British.
