The brick and stone palace was founded by the castellan of Kraków, Stanisław Warszycki at the end of 17th century (between 1669 and 1681).

In front of the palace there used to be a court with the entrance gate and behind the building there was a garden situated on the slope of the hill.

In the 18th century the palace was owned by the Męciński family who redecorated the insides in classicist style.

Michał Poleski, scientist and insurgent of the January Uprising in 1863, created a private agronomic school that was located on the second storey of the palace.

The last owner of the palace was Countess Maria Elwira O’Rourke, from a Polish noble family of Irish origin.
