Category:Dwór Ziobrowskich, Manor house in Borek Fałęcki district, Kraków, Poland.
Dwór Ziobrowskich is a single-story brick building with a distinctive mansard roof and two shallow side projections. A two-column portico with an arcade marks the main entrance, giving the structure its classical character.
The estate was built around 1890 after centuries under the Wawel cathedral chapter, which controlled it from the Middle Ages until 1797 when Austrian authorities auctioned it off. The property eventually came into the hands of the Ziobrowskich family, from whom it takes its current name.
The name Ziobrowskich comes from the family who lived here and shaped the estate over generations. The landscape park surrounding the manor shows how affluent residents in the late 1800s designed their grounds with carefully selected trees from various regions.
The protected monument was returned to the family in 2013 and has been renovated since then. The site sits in a residential area of Kraków's Borek Fałęcki district, best explored on foot or by local transport.
During World War I, the grounds served as a training site for an artillery regiment, with recruits gathering there in August 1914. This military chapter remains little known today, though it shaped an important part of the place's past.
