Kwiatków Manor

Highlight • Historical Site

Manor house from the 18th century. It is a single-storey building, expanded in the 19th century with a front portico and a two-storey eastern wing. In the vicinity there is a landscape park and a ruined manor kitchen. The residence underwent renovation in 2019-2020. The quality of the work carried out, including the roof covering used, improper window joinery and entrance doors straight from a cheap DIY store may be controversial, but it is pleasing that the monument is not deteriorating any further. It is true that you cannot enter the manor house, because there are municipal flats here, but the approach to the building itself is not a problem.
