Manor in Rokitnica, Manor house in Rokitnica district, Zabrze, Poland.
The Manor in Rokitnica is a rectangular brick building with a distinctive three-story tower serving as its main entrance. The structure contains multiple interior rooms organized across several floors.
The founder of the manor is unknown; it may have been Adolph Tieschowitz von Tieschowa, district administrator of Bytom, and the building was originally owned by his family. In 1858 part of the Miechowice-Rokitnica estate was bought by the Tiele-Wincklers. After World War II the farm became a state agricultural holding, later passing to a private owner. A fire in November 2012 destroyed part of the roof and attic; the manor was listed as a monument on 14 July 2016, and from spring 2017 a new private owner from Pyskowice began renovations, including replacing the burnt roof.
Inside, wall paintings survive in relatively good condition, though the ceilings and roof structure are in poor shape. The building later served as a state farm after World War II, and since 2016 a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses has stood on part of the former estate grounds.
The building is privately owned and visitor access may be limited, so it is best to check local information before planning a visit. The exterior and tower are visible from the surrounding area, allowing visitors to appreciate the architectural features from outside.
A fire in 2012 caused significant damage to the roof and attic areas of the building. The subsequent restoration work by the current owner demonstrates the effort to preserve and restore this historical structure.
