The manor house in Łobżany.

Łobżany is a post-manor farm village which came into existence as a descendant of two manor farms whose land agents were the Borck family. The source of the village's name suggests that the village was closely associated with Łobez in the past.^[2] The last owner of the tenement until 1945 was Martha von Borcke.^[2]

There is an 1880 manor house in Łobżany with some features of renaissance architecture,^[5][6] built by Louis von Borcke.^[2] It is a two-story building with a wooden porch entrance.^[1] The original kitchen lift within is preserved.^[1] The building is capped with a flat roof, incorporating lower pavilions with bay windows on each side.^[2] The whole building is capped with an arched moulding decorated with fruit and blossom designs.^[2]

In front of the manor house is a park in which yews, considered a natural monument, are grown.^[6] There is also a nearby park with high larches.^[7] Łobżany has a wilderness hut and a village day-room.^[1] The whole complex is surrounded in the north by ponds, between which grow old oaks. There is also a bicycle path in Łobżany's territory.^[1]
