The Princely Pheasantry in Poręba

The Princely Pheasantry features a rectangular layout with a high hip roof, south-facing brick front, and a four-pillar portico adorning its five-axis elevation.

Frederick Erdmann commissioned the construction of this summer residence in 1792, following designs by architect Wilhelm Pusch, with completion occurring in the year 1800.

The manor served as a venue for grand celebrations and balls during the 19th century, hosting gatherings of over 3,500 people for princely birthday celebrations.

Located at ul. Barbórki 47 in Poręba, the Pheasantry now functions as a center for dining, conferences, and accommodations following its 2011 restoration.

The building stands at 283 meters above sea level and incorporates architectural elements published by Carl Gotthard Langhans in his earlier designs.
