Historical evidence indicates that already before the Polish Times, there was a manor in Lizums which was owned by the Baltic German family of Tiesenhausens. In 1629, Antonius Morrie was mentioned as the owner of the manor, but in 1657, Meijer was mentioned. From 1781, the manor became the property of Barons von Malama until finally in 1836, the von Wolff family became the owner.
The most luxurious building of the manor is undoubtedly the castle, which was built in the middle of the 19th century in the style of historicism with the facade finishing created in English Neo Gothic style and the heptagonal tower. The interior wooden decoration was done by Alexander Knox. He made the interior decoration in the Blue (Hunters) Hall which is one of the most luxurious rooms in the palace. In 1936/37, a school was established in the palace, which is still located here. A small landscaped park and several ponds have been preserved in the territory of the palace. In the immediate vicinity of the palace, there are several manor household buildings: a stable, a granary, servant houses, a distillery, etc. Visits must be booked in advance.
