In 1856 the whole Guzów estate was put up for auction.
In the event, it was acquired for the enormous sum of 600,000 silver roubles by Feliks Sobański, the son of a magnate from Podolia.
Sobański also happened to be a grandson of Feliks Łubieński through his mother, Róża, and from 1857, married to another Łubieńska, Emilia.
He set about rebuilding the manor house, fashioning it into a French Renaissance style palace with a park in the manner of Capability Brown.

The gradually reduced Guzów estate remained in the possession of the Sobański family into two World wars, when the palace served as a military hospital.
At the start of World War II it was still the property of Antoni Sobański, a wartime writer and journalist with the BBC Polish Section.
However, in 1944, it became subject to a land reform and taken over by the Nazi occupiers of Poland.
After the Second world war the estate, as all other country estates, was nationalised.
Antoni Sobański never returned to his homeland and died in London.
