Manor House in Łopuszna

The Manor House in Łopuszna, also called the Tetmajer Manor, is a historic wooden manor house near Nowy Targ. Since 1978 it has been a branch of the Tatra Museum in Zakopane.

History of the manor

A residence had existed on this site since the end of the 16th century. The present manor house was built in 1787-1790 by Romuald Lisicki, a participant in the Bar Confederation. His daughter Ludwika married Leon Przerwa-Tetmajer, who owned the estate from 1824 until his death in 1881. After the Second World War the manor was nationalised in 1949.

Guests of the manor

In 1832 Seweryn Goszczyński hid here after the fall of the November Uprising, and later wrote about the manor in his travel diary. Stanisław Worcell and Bohdan Zaleski also visited it. Thanks to this the manor is today a place that tells the story of romantic Poland and of the gentry culture of Podhale.

What it looks like

It is a single-storey wooden building with a mansard roof covered with shingles, typical of rural gentry manors. On the grounds stand farm buildings, including a stable and a granary, and the museum also looks after the wooden Klamerus cottage from 1887.

Nearby

Nearby lies the Gate to the Gorce Nature and Education Centre, and in Nowy Targ the Podhale Museum. More ambitious hikers can set out from here towards Turbacz.
