A short walk along wooden footbridges, the rustle of reeds, and blissful peace – time slows down here. An ideal stop on a cycling loop or family hike.

The Lipski Palace in Lewków is one of the earliest examples of classicist architecture in Wielkopolska, built in the late 18th century according to the design of Jan Kamsetzer. The building impresses with its harmonious shape, rotunda garden hall and rich decoration - both on the elevations and in the interiors, where you can admire the illusionistic paintings of the Smuglewicz family. It is surrounded by a restored landscape park in the English style with a rosarium, pond and icehouse. Today, the palace serves as a museum and cultural centre, and thanks to its modern facilities, it is also a place for cultural events.

The church was built in the years 1844-1846. It was founded by a noblewoman, Salomea née Obiezierska, and her grandson, Wojciech Lipski. In the years 1898-1900, the polychromes in the presbytery, stucco wall coverings and a marble tabernacle were made (destroyed by the Germans during World War II and later rebuilt). In 1950, the church received three bells, and in the years 1949-1953 new plasters and electricity. In 1960 and 1976, it was repainted, and a thorough restoration was carried out in the years 1991-1992.
