Noble estate of the von Wedel family. The manor house, partly existing to this day, was probably erected in the first quarter of the 17th century. It is not known exactly what the seat looked like at that time. The residential building preserved to this day was a one-story building covered with a high gable roof. The manor was rebuilt many times in later times. The vaulted cellar probably dates from the first half of the 18th century.
In 1803, the property changed hands and Carl Ernst Wilhelm von Waldow became the owner of the Stone Bridge. In the first half of the 19th century, especially in the 1830s, numerous transformations of the entire manor complex were carried out. Probably at that time, a farm complex was built to the west of the manor house, and a landscape park was established on the eastern and southern sides. At that time, a new gable roof with pediments and eyelid dormers was installed. The manor received a neoclassical architectural design. A risalit on the façade axis and a new wing from the south were added to the seventeenth-century main body.
In the first quarter of the 20th century, the estate was acquired by the von Kieckebusch family. In the 1910s, the manor was transformed into a palace. The old late-Renaissance manor building has been preserved and the southern wing has been completely modernized, giving it eclectic forms combining neo-baroque with elements of medieval architecture. The entrance avant-corps was rebuilt into an arcaded porch with a terrace.
After World War II, the property in Kamienne Most was nationalized. In 1953, the palace and the park became the seat of the Vocational High School and the Basic School of Agricultural Mechanization in Kamienne Most. In the 1970s, the entrance porch was extended with an additional floor made of metal and glass (now removed). In 1998, a gymnasium was added to the eastern side of the palace.
