The builder of the Palace in Korczew was Wiktoryn Kuczyński, the castellan of Podlasie and the founder of the churches in Drohiczyn, who made a fortune by floating grain to Gdańsk. The manor in Korczew was to be built for his younger son Leon. He entrusted the task of designing the building to the architect Koncenia Boni.

The oldest part of the palace, i.e. the ballroom with original rococo stucco, dates from that time. Above the central entrance to the hall there is the Ślepowron coat of arms, which was used by the Kuczyński family. This was the place where meetings of the Bar Confederates were held, organized by Leon Kuczyński.

During the war, the Palace in Korczew was initially taken over as a border guard post, and later as a sanatorium for soldiers returning from the Eastern Front. The building did not suffer much damage, but its furnishings did: the Germans stole most of the furniture and burned a large part of the palace library. More damage was later caused by Soviet soldiers and many years of neglect. The palace was nationalized as part of the land reform and fell into ruin with each subsequent year. The ballroom was used as a warehouse for fertilizers that had destroyed the old oak floor. Broken windows were not repaired, and the elements contributed to the gradual devastation. The only piece of furniture that remained of the original equipment was a heavy metal safe.
