In the place of the present palace there was already a castle of the Dukes of Głogów, mentioned since 1468, passed on to the von Rechenberg family. At the end of the 16th century, Hans von Rechenberg rebuilt it in the Renaissance style. In the mid-17th century, the estate passed into the hands of the Barwitz family (von Fernemont). After a great fire in 1721, the former castle was rebuilt in the years 1732–1735 as a two-storey Baroque residence, preserving part of the older structure. The palace served as the residence and archive of the Reich Main Security Office, as well as Heinrich Himmler; a unique collection of books on Freemasonry and witch trials was gathered here. After the war, it was transformed into, among other things, a Children's Home (1957–2006); previously it housed the tax office, ZHP, OSP and a playhouse.

The first mentions of St. Michael's Church in Wyszanów date back to 1376. It was a Gothic, single-nave church, built of field stone and brick, with a square tower. During or immediately after the Thirty Years' War, the church was destroyed and never rebuilt. There are hypotheses that Swedish troops could have been responsible for the destruction.

Church of St. Martin (formerly St. Mary Magdalene): The first mention of a church in this place comes from 1399. The current temple was built at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries, gaining a Gothic-Renaissance character. It was a Catholic church.

In 1982, at the initiative of Edmund Apolinarski, the then director of the breeding center, a decision was made to build a monument commemorating the bull Ilon. The author of the concrete monument is Tomasz Bończa-Ozdowski. The monument was erected in the place where a column commemorating the Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck had previously stood, which was dismantled in the 1960s. Ilon was a bull (breeding bull) of the Holstein-Friesian breed. His mother was brought from the United States to the breeding center in Osowa Sienia in the 1970s. The bull Ilon was born in Osowa Sienia and became the first stud of this breed in Poland. Thanks to his extraordinary productivity, the cattle breeding in Osowa Sień, managed by the State Agricultural Farm, grew stronger, which was a financial success and a symbol of high production of breeding material. Ilon became a real "star of the PRL".

The first information about the local church was created at the end of the 14th century in the documents of the Głogów archdeaconry. They recorded that in Krzepielów (Czeplaw, later Tschepplau) in 1399 there was a church, in which the parish priest Petrus Steynschin officiated. Presumably it was still a wooden building, because the brick, late Gothic church of St. Martin was built in the 15th century, perhaps from the foundation of the then owners of the village from the von Kreckwitz family. In 1599, a presbytery and a chapel were added to the body. The church was built of brick and erratic stones. It was located in the middle of the village, on the area of the oval cemetery, on the northern side of the road to Wschowa.

In this palace, the Reich Security Main Office created a residence for the head of the SS and Minister of the Interior, Heinrich Himmler. Inspired by Arthurian legends, he dreamed of the SS becoming an order of the "new religion" which he considered Nazism.
