Wojanów Palace is first mentioned in 1299, when the estate belonged to the von Zedlitz family, who held it until 1727 apart from a short break in 1540–1548. Nikolaus von Zedlitz und Nimmersatt founded the palace in its present form in 1603; it was ruined in the Thirty Years' War and rebuilt by Christopher von Zedlitz in 1667.
After 1727 the estate changed hands often. In the 19th century an owner named Ike added a floor, raised the turrets and gave the interior English Neo-Gothic detailing. After he left in 1839, King Frederick William III of Prussia acquired the estate and gave it to his daughter Louise and her husband Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, who laid out a landscape park and gave the façade a New Gothic look. Maria zu Wied inherited it in 1889 and sold it in 1908 to Karl Krieg; Kurt Effenberg owned it until 1945.
After the war the palace was looted, used as a state farm base and a guest house, and neglected. An Italian company bought it in 1995, and the palace burned in 2002. Since 2005 the current owner has restored the palace, its side buildings and its park, and in 2007 it became a conference, training and spa centre. The lowest rate on Booking is for a room in the Oficyna, a side building, rather than in the main palace.
