Louis Gomolec in his work on średzki Earth wrote: "secluded lounges, an old Polish manor house in Mystki were open for poets and writers. In Mystki lived poet and writer Lucian Siemienski (1807–1877) and Józef Ignacy Kraszewski (1812–1877). Thrice (1862.1865, 1867) guest in Mystki was the Tekla half-brother, also Arrigo Boito, one of the leading European composers of opera librettos and authors of the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. After Charles's death (November 11, 1870), thanks to the efforts of his wife Tekla in 1877 a new mansion was built in the French Renaissance style, designed by the architect Stanislaw Hebanowski. After Tekla Karśnicka death in 1885 passed Mystki into the hands of Karłowskis family who farmed here until 1939. After the war, the property belonged to the State Farms.
