The Manor House and Park

The first historical references to the village date back to 1337. The village has Slavic origins, and according to sources, German settlers founded Dziedzice next to this hamlet. The village was likely abandoned at a later date, and subsequent references to it appear in the 18th and 19th centuries. At that time, there was a brickyard, a sheepfold, and a bailiff’s cottage here. Stara Dziedzina was then part of the estate centered in Dziedzice.

From its heyday, the farm complex—featuring historic farm buildings and a spacious courtyard—has survived to the present day. A manor house was built on the north side of the courtyard. It is dated to 1895. It is a single-story brick building with a centrally located projection. From the front, we can see a three-axis risalit with the main entrance. The entire structure is covered by a gable roof.

Currently, the manor house and farm buildings are not in use, and their condition is steadily deteriorating. The property can be viewed from the outside.

A park stretches around the manor. It was established in the second half of the 19th century on an area of 1.6 hectares. The park is situated on level ground that slopes gently toward the pond. The landscape park consists of a clearing near the manor, a pond, and trees. The park is home mainly to native tree species—maple, white chestnut, European white elm, small-leaved linden, English oak, and European beech. Of particular interest are the less common species—silver maple, Hungarian oak, and long-stalked linden.
