    Palace (a pearl among the architectural monuments of Warmia and Mazury), a historical park and the remains of the former Lehndorff family estate, a historic oak avenue, a cult sailing port, compact, orderly buildings in the village, a nature reserve in the immediate vicinity and the largest bridge in Masuria, erected between the lakes of Dargin and Kirsayts.
    The palace was built in the years 1689-1691 on the initiative of Countess Maria Eleonora von Dӧnhoff, wife of Ahasverus Gerhard Lehndorff. The seat of the family was established on the foundations of a building erected here earlier, in the years 1554-1572 (the remains of the previous palace are basements with cross and barrel vaults, as well as the three-bay layout of the building). At the end of the 17th century, a two-story palace was built, covered with a hipped, steep roof. A small break is topped with a high, flattened pediment. In the hall, there are representative two-speed oak stairs. Countess von Dӧnhoff also arranged an 18-hectare park, surrounding the palace from the north. Near the palace there were flower floors, then regular oak alleys. The park was decorated with numerous sculptures. On the clearing, on the main axis, there was a sundial from 1741 (currently located in the courtyard of the museum in Morąg).
    In the years 1829-1880, the palace was rebuilt (also side wings were added). The west wing was closed with a tower covered with a hipped roof. The elevation of the façade was rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style. From the side of the garden elevation, alcove towers were added to both corners. In the 19th century, a number of buildings were also erected in the park: a neoclassical teahouse (designed by Langhans from 1816) in the eastern part, a neo-Gothic chapel (around 1830) in the western part, an octagonal, neo-Gothic tomb chapel of the Lehndorffs on the western tip of Lake Sztynorcki 1830, builder Staudener, design by Schinkel). The chapel is two-story and there is a crypt in the basement. The upper storey served as a chapel, used not only by the inhabitants of the palace, but also by the town.
    In 1941, the palace was taken over by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the German Reich. Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop was here. During the war in 1945, Sztynort escaped destruction. Until 1947, the headquarters of the Soviet army was located in the palace.
