The present look of the mansion originates from 1902.
The Mansion from the back side
From 1850 to 1945, the mansion was owned by the
noble Rekowski family including Napoleon Rekowski and then his daughter Maria
who in 1857 married a great Polish patriot Witold Kosiński. After their childless death (Maria in 1911 and
Witold in 1928) - mansion again became a possession of the
Rekowski family - Kazimierz Rekowski and his wife Gabriela nee
Malachowska. The Rekowski family lived in Koszuty till 1941 when
Nazis took away the mansion from them and gave it to the German
family of Kottke.
In 1945 the residence was taken away from its lawful proprietors by the
communist regime only to be subdivided into several small flats which eventually
got destroyed. Some time later the building was reconstructed to serve the local
community as a school and then was turned into the present museum.
On the first floor there is a permanent exhibition showing an example of a mansion of Greater Poland nobility.
