Manor in Lipków

The manor is a single-story building featuring a mansard roof with a wide central projection and triangular pediment, designed by architect Hilary Szpilowski in 1792. Today it serves as a parish office and rectory next to the adjacent Saint Roch Church.

An Armenian merchant named Jakub Paschalis Jakubowicz commissioned this manor after receiving nobility status from King Stanisław August Poniatowski. The building reflects the social mobility and economic prosperity of its era.

The manor appears in Henryk Sienkiewicz' novel 'With Fire and Sword' as the setting for a duel between characters Jerzy Bohun and Michał Wołodyjowski. This literary connection has given the place a special significance in Polish cultural memory.

The building is not open to public visitors since it now functions as a parish office and residence. You can view it from outside and appreciate the architectural details from the street.

During the 1970s, the manor and its grounds served as filming locations for notable Polish television series. Productions including 'Polish Roads' and 'Third Part of the Night' were shot on the site.
