history
Alexander Duncker reported that the rule of Zbąszyń was initially undivided until the Hussite Abraham von Zbąszyń was besieged at his main castle, captured and burned at the stake and his property passed to the von Garczynski family around 1700. In the 1830s the goods Lomnitz, Weidenvorwerk and Groß-Dammer were sold; the rest initially remained in the possession of Thaddäus von Garczynski. This, a royal chamberlain, sold the remaining parts of the rule in 1847. In 1855 the rule of Edmund von Pourtalès passed into the hands of Julius Peter Hermann August Graf zu Lippe-Biesterfeld , who made Neudorf Castle his residence, because the actual Bentschen Castle was in a poor structural condition. Duncker describes Neudorf Castle as "on the [...] Bentschener See on a hill, surrounded by forest and vineyards, very friendly [...]" The photographer and publisher August Mencke probably took the first photographs of the castle around 1870 . The building remained in the hands of the Lippe-Biesterfeld family for a long time: In a letter dated September 10, 1880, Martha Fontane told her parents about a visit from the count's family - Julius zu Lippe-Biesterfeld and his wife and two of the nine children who were still alive at the time. in Klein-Dammer , where she was head of house at the time.
In 1920 the area on which the palace was located, like almost the entire province of Posen, had to be ceded to Poland under the Versailles Treaty .
