Before 1602, Stefan Borck built a manor house in Dobrzyca, which is mentioned in a document from that year. From 1697, Dobrzyca became the property of the Bonin family. In the 17th century, after the founding of Nowa Dobrzyca, the adjective Alt (Old) was added to the name of the village. Around the middle of the 18th century, the younger daughter of Ulryk-Bogusław von Bonin, Zofia Augusta Ulryk, received the estate as a dowry when she married Henning von Brockhausen. A description of the estate comes from around 1777, in which the manor is mentioned. In 1798, the property became the property of Friedrich Lehmann, a relative of the Bonins.
In the mid-nineteenth century, they were owned by the von Bűlow family. According to the description of the village from 1874, the property belonged to the von Knebel family. There were 22 residential buildings, 34 other buildings and 1 industrial building. In Dobrzyca, there were also 12 peasant farms (bauerhofs) and 1 homestead, with a total of 14 residential buildings. During the 19th century, the property owners changed many times. At the beginning of the 20th century (1905) it belonged to the Rantzau family, and from 1917 to 1945 to the Fincken von Finkenstein family.
After the war, the buildings of the palace complex were still used. Employees of the Resko Forestry Inspectorate lived in them. To a large extent, the objects were stolen and devastated, e.g. building material. Next to the palace there was a huge barn, which was demolished in 1999 due to its poor technical condition. Now the palace is privately owned and is a ruin. Unfortunately, we have not been able to determine who is the current owner of this property.
The manor house in Stara Dobrzyca was abandoned in the 1970s and has been deteriorating ever since. It is now completely overgrown, and one wall and part of the roof have already collapsed. The monument can probably be written off as a loss.
