Turew

Turew is a village spread across farmland in west-central Poland, situated south of Poznań. The 18th-century manor house at its center now serves as an Agricultural and Forestry Research Institute.

The manor house was built in the 18th century for the local gentry and underwent major changes under Dezydery Chłapowski. This Napoleonic officer transformed the original baroque design into a neoclassical structure.

The manor park contains memorial oak trees, including one named after Dezydery, showing how local nature connects to Polish aristocratic heritage. These old trees are woven into the park landscape and reflect the area's long past.

The manor house welcomes organized group visits to explore its historical rooms and grounds. Plan your visit in advance since access depends on the activities of the research institute.

After the Napoleonic Wars, the estate once housed military veterans who had served under Chłapowski. This practice was uncommon at the time and reflects the owner's responsibility toward his fellow soldiers.
