The idyllically situated Ramin manor is surrounded by a romantic manor park. In the middle of nature, the historic building now serves as a cultural meeting place for German-Polish exchange in the border region.
The village once belonged to the excellent Pomeranian von Ramin family, whose representatives owned many estates west of Szczecin. Land (received, among other things, for participation in the Crusades) was divided over time among different family members. One of the most famous branches of the Pomeranian von Ramins was the line of builders and owners of the palace in Stolec. In Ramin, the family owned a large farm, next to which a representative residence was built in the mid-18th century. The simple shape of the two-storey palace, covered with a mansard roof decorated with windows in the shape of ox eyes, blended beautifully with the surrounding 7-hectare park. The terraced landform, old trees and an artificial lake with an island in the middle have survived to our times. The current owner of the property, Mr. Edward Orlowski, has been fascinated by this place for years. He is constantly exploring the history of the estate, collecting old photographs and postcards. Unfortunately, due to historical turmoil, the archive of the family has not been preserved. In the mid-nineteenth century, the family sold their possessions and moved to large urban centers. The last owner of the estate had 5 daughters and today there are about 150 direct descendants from Ramin. Some of them come from the depths of Germany, from France to visit the ancestral seat. At the end of the 19th century, chemist Professor Walter Semmler took over the property from his parents. He demolished some of the old farm buildings, erected new ones, and introduced a steam engine that facilitated the mechanization of work. It mainly produced tobacco, which in the era of the Great Depression of 1929 turned out to be the ruin of the farm. Professor Semmler went bankrupt and depressed, he committed suicide. His grave is in the church cemetery. In the 1930s, the estate was divided into parts, houses were erected on the plots, and plots prepared in this way were granted to new settlers settling in Pomerania as part of the internal colonization of Prussia. During World War II, part of the palace was destroyed by fire. After the reconstruction, in 1942, the building was handed over to the poviat organization Hitlerjugend to organize a training center. The palace was then called Haus Mallon - in honor of the group's 14-year-old hero. Decorative, wooden panneaux on the ceiling in the hall, decorated with images of the banners of Pomeranian regiments, come from this period.
