Manor House and Park Complex in Niemcza Municipality | Usable Area: 2,050 m² | Land Area: 4 hectares

A Renaissance manor house dating back to the late 16th and early 17th centuries, built on the site of an older defensive tower. The property has undergone multiple reconstructions and modernisations.

Construction: Built of stone and brick, rendered.
Layout: Rectangular floor plan, three storeys, with a converted attic and gable roofs.
Facade: Ten-axis design, partially altered window layout, flanked by two side projections. The facades feature pilasters in a grand order, cornices between storeys, and rusticated corners. Parts of the facade retain decorative sgraffito elements. The building is crowned by eight richly ornamented gables.
Windows: Set in stone and plaster frames.
Historical Features: Preserved pointed stone portal from the 15th century, a remnant of the original residential tower.
Interior: Two-winged layout with a centrally located hall. The ground floor retains barrel, cross, and segmental vaults, while the upper floors feature ceilings with coves and stucco decorations.

The manor is surrounded by a small landscaped park, which forms an integral part of the estate.
