The palace was built at the end of the 19th century by Prince Aleksander Drucki-Lubecki in the classicist style.

"God! All those who come here, let them have what they wish for themselves” - this inscription decorates the entrance to the palace in Bałtów.

Built in the years 1894-1999, it consisted of 36 rooms, a library, a ballroom and the chancellery of Prince Aleksander Drucki-Lubecki. In 1926, a fire broke out in the palace, as a result of which the roof, the second floor and part of the first one burned down. The palace was also heavily damaged during World War II by the Germans, who also took away many valuable items. In 1944, the Drucki-Lubecki family left Bałtów.

The Russians contributed to the further degradation of the Palace, who in 1945 burned the palace book collection and the equipment was stolen. In 1951, the Agricultural Technical School was established in the palace, which functioned here for 25 years. The devastated palace, along with a park of several hectares, was recovered in 2014 by the heirs of the prince.

In the nearby cemetery, in a chapel built in 1914, rest Maria and Aleksander Prince Drucki-Lubecki.
