The building is a two-story neo-Gothic building with a three-story tower and three towers. The roofs, towers and the tower are topped with decorative battlements. In the park surrounding the palace, there is also a brick quadruple from the beginning of the 19th century, which is a one-story building with a usable attic.
Before World War I, the property was owned by the Prussian state and managed by landrat, i.e. district starosts. One of them, a certain Lentz, built a brickyard, which was then used to make bricks for the construction of the palace.
After World War I and the Silesian Uprisings, Wilcza found itself in the reborn Poland, the local property was leased to Józef Grzonka, a Silesian insurgent who had contributed to the fights in the poviat. In 1926, he purchased a part of the property. The rest of the land was parceled out. Józef Grzonka died in Lesser Poland during the Second World War.
After the war, the palace housed, among others health center and delivery room. A few years later, Bronisława Grzonkowa, the widow of the hero, who still lived there, was forced to leave the property, and her employees were removed by the police. The confiscated building, handed over to the Agricultural Production Cooperative "Postęp", shared the fate of many other facilities of this type in Poland. After 1989, the Grzonek family managed to regain it.
