Manor House in Łyszkowice

The manor house in Łyszkowice is a historic brick manor of the Woźniakowski family in Koniusza municipality, entered in the register of immovable monuments of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship. Since 1952 it has housed a care home.

Owners of the village

In the mid-15th century the village belonged to Mikołaj Stadnicki, then to his son, and then to the Convent of the Visitation Sisters in Kraków, which leased it out. In 1884 it was bought by the Dunin family, and at the beginning of the 20th century it belonged to Marcjan Ludwik Woźniakowski (1854-1927). In 1923 the Woźniakowskis gave the manor house to a Women's Agricultural School. During the Second World War the buildings were devastated, and on 6 June 1952 the Adam Chmielowski Care Home was opened in them.

The building and the park

In the 1820s a two-storey, tower-like building stood here, where the administrator of the church farm lived. The present single-storey manor house was built after 1923. It has a Polish mansard roof, a four-column porch at the front and a projecting bay (risalit) with three arched windows on the garden side. The whole is surrounded by a park. In front of the manor stands a bust of Adam Chmielowski by Antoni Hajdecki.

Practical information

• The building is a working care home. The sources say nothing about visiting the interiors, so treat it as a site to be viewed from the outside and respect the residents.
• Nearby are also the Old Manor House in Goszyce, about 5 km away, and the Manor House in Dalewice.
