The water mill on the Muchawka River in Rakowiec is a brick facility from 1925, located on the right bank of the river, on the site of an earlier wooden mill from 1917. The facility is located in the area of the events of the Battle of Iganie from 1831, which adds to its historical significance.

The palace was composed of neo-Gothic, neo-Romanesque, and oriental elements. Built of brick and plastered, set on an irregular, elongated plan with an irregular shape. The building has a basement, two-storey in part with a residential attic covered with a hipped roof with sheet metal surfaces. The palace's body is strongly segmented and consists of cuboid elements. The building is dominated by a three-storey tower topped with a battlement and a Lombard frieze placed under the crowning cornice. Basically, the body consists of six juxtaposed bodies. The body most protruding to the front is also the main axis placed asymmetrically. It is preceded by a massive porch pierced by a Tudor arch, which houses the main entrance to the palace. Above it is an open terrace surrounded by a stone balustrade. Terrace doors finished with a pointed arch and tracery decoration. All the elements were composed as pseudo-towers. They were flanked on two sides by smooth corner pilaster strips and topped with a prominent crowning cornice, under which a Lombard frieze runs, above which a battlement was placed. On one of the side elevations, a pillared portico of the side entrance was squeezed between two tower masses. Window openings of various sizes and shapes.

The Cisie-Zagrudzie park and palace complex. The house was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries at the behest of the Twardowski family. The estate, originally called Cisie, was owned in 1783 by Dominik Przeździecki, the starost of Mińsk. In the 19th century, the estate passed into the possession of the family of the founders of the palace, and in 1909 it belonged to priest Stanisław Szaniawski. In the interwar years, the estate was in the possession of Jerzy Konopka. In the late 1920s, the estate belonged to Stanisław Klawe and the land amounted to 160 hectares. In 1927, the next owner was Józef Maria Mielżyński, who two years later passed it to Jerzy Konopka. Baron Jerzy Konopka (1887-1954) of the Nowina coat of arms, married since July 1914 to Maria Ludwika Sokołowska (1890-1944) of the Korab coat of arms, was the last pre-war owner of the Cisień estate and lived here in the years 1929-1944. After the end of World War II, a primary school and then teachers' apartments were placed in the palace. The palace was abandoned in the 1980s. In 1999, the building was taken over by a private owner. Currently, the house remains abandoned and is in poor technical condition. Around it are the remains of a park, in fairly good condition.
