Manor in Jeżów, Defensive manor house in Jeżów, Lesser Poland, Poland

The Manor in Jeżów is a defensive manor house in Wilczyska, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, built in the second half of the 15th century. Its walls, up to 175 cm thick, enclose a narrow rectangle with a corner tower on the south-east, originally surrounded by moats and palisades. A 1544 rebuild gave it a nearly square plan of 16.5 by 15 m, with a foundation tablet above the entrance bearing the Ogończyk coat of arms and the motto "GDI PAN BOG S NAMY – WSYTKO MIEC BĘDZIEMY".

The manor was built in the second half of the 15th century, probably by the Jeżowski family of the Strzemię coat of arms, or by Klemens Turski, who acquired Jeżów in 1483. In 1544 Adam Strasz of the Ogończyk coat of arms rebuilt it into a tower-like residence, and a foundation plaque with his coat of arms and the motto "GDI PAN BOG S NAMY – WSYTKO MIEC BĘDZIEMY" survives above the entrance. From 1945 it stood ruined until renovation in the 1960s.

The manor's name comes from the Jeżowski family of the Strzemię coat of arms, who built it; in 1483 Klemens Turski took over the estate by exchange with Jan Jeżowski. For about a century, from Adam Strasz to Olbrycht Rożn (killed in 1655 crossing the Dunajec), the owners were Arians, and their period left the finest interior decoration. The founder's plaque above the entrance bears the Ogończyk coat of arms and the motto "GDI PAN BOG S NAMY – WSYTKO MIEC BĘDZIEMY".

The manor stands in Jeżów, on the right bank of the Biała river, in Wilczyska commune, Tarnów County. It is a teaching centre of the Tarnów Fine Arts School, so interiors are seen during its activities rather than as a museum. The building sits on oak piles in damp ground, and the surrounding park is part of the historic layout.

The manor's upper-floor representative hall holds a painted panorama of Jeżów, running from the vanished castle on the opposite bank of the Biała to the manor itself, framed by a frieze of fruit-and-flower festoons. Other rooms carry paintings of animals, unusual trees, and sailing and hunting scenes, made during the Arian period.
