The palace was built in the early 19th century at the request of Józef Mielżyński, according to a design by K.F. Schinkel, as a (then relatively modest) villa-palace. In the mid-19th century, it was expanded to include the wings of the southern façade, the western wing, and a tower in the Neo-Renaissance style. The reconstruction was designed by Count Seweryn Mielżyński himself. He intended to designate the eastern wing of the façade as a picture gallery. The next reconstruction took place at the end of the 19th century. It was carried out by the next owner of Miłosław, Józef Kościelski, to whom the palace owes its regular façade wings, the Grand Order portico, the balustrade-like finial, and the additional tower story, among other things. Thanks to these efforts, the palace acquired the classic appearance of a Neo-Renaissance residence. The façade, with its central projection and Grand Order portico, is particularly impressive. Four Ionic columns support the architrave, which supports the triangular pediment. The avant-corps is connected to the side wings, which protrude significantly from the facade, and feature charming galleries decorated with vases. A quadrangular tower, topped by a belvedere surrounded by a balustrade, dominates the entire structure. The garden façade is enhanced by a perpendicularly added wing. The palace stands in a beautiful landscaped park. (naprzekordniom.wordpress.com) Currently (October 2025), the building is undergoing facade renovations.

Miłosław Palace is a 19th-century Classicist residence located in the southern part of the city. Built as a Neo-Renaissance villa designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, it was subsequently expanded several times, including by Seweryn Mielżyński. In its heyday, it served as an "open house," hosting distinguished writers, musicians, and painters, and housed a museum housing a valuable art collection. Burnt down in 1945, it was rebuilt in the 1960s, preserving its original appearance. Today, it houses a school, and the building is surrounded by a picturesque park, worth visiting on a bicycle tour of the area.

The Opaliński Palace in Radlin was one of the most impressive residences in 16th-century Greater Poland and the first palace and garden complex in the region with such a modern layout. It consisted of a quadrangular building with a cloistered courtyard, a gate tower and an Italian garden with a chapel – today serving as a cemetery. After centuries of neglect and changes of owners, the palace was demolished in the 19th century by Władysław Radoliński, who used its bricks to build a residence in Jarocin. Today, only fragments of its former glory have survived in Radlin, but for cyclists interested in history, it is an interesting point on the map of Greater Poland – it is worth stopping here for a while.

The classicist Gorzeński Palace in Śmiełów is now home to the Adam Mickiewicz Museum – a unique place on the map of Wielkopolska, especially for lovers of literature and history. It was here that Mickiewicz stayed in 1831, trying to get through to the November Uprising. The interior of the palace conceals numerous Masonic elements, and the museum exhibition is devoted to the life and work of the bard, with separate rooms for "Pan Tadeusz" and "Dziady". The park surrounding the residence with Zosia's Garden and the Mickiewicz bench is also worth visiting.
