The castle in Jankowice
The castle in Jankowice was built under the influence of Romanticism with Ionic columns and balustrade around 1800 and the reconstruction was carried out in 1803 on behalf of Wawrzyńc Engestrӧm, a former Swedish envoy to King Stanislaus II August Poniatowski .
In the middle of the 19th century the castle was owned by the German entrepreneur Rudolf Palm, who sold it to the German lieutenant August Matthes. During this time the castle was expanded, large windows were added, a winter garden was added and a brick factory was nearby. Johannesbach Castle belonged to the Jankowice Manor, which was a well-managed agricultural business in the Poznan-West district . In 1897, Matthes sold the estate and castle to the Polish Count von Kwilecki, who bought it for his son Stefan Teodor. On behalf of Stefan Kwilecki, Roger Sławski rebuilt the castle in 1912 and added side wings.
Between the world wars, Charles de Gaulle was one of the castle's guests.
The castle has been home to a music school since September 2017.
