Palace in Linie

Linie Palace (Bielice municipality, Pyrzyce County) was most probably built at the end of the 18th century. The heritage register describes its style as Baroque (entry A-2 of 1999). The building was rebuilt in 1870, and was given its final form in the early 20th century, probably in 1914.

The building and park

The Encyclopedia of West Pomerania describes the palace as two-storey, on a rectangular plan, with a projecting front bay crowned by a tympanum and a hipped roof. After the war it housed offices and flats for state farm workers, and a renovation in the 1960s stripped it of architectural detail. Today it is privately owned. Nearby stand farm buildings and a manor park of 3.2 ha with oaks, limes, horse chestnuts and spruces.

History of the village

The first mention of the village (German: Leine) dates from 1248, and in the Middle Ages it was a fief of the knightly von Leyne family. In the 19th century the estate belonged in turn to several families, and in 1920-1939 to Kurt Wilke.
