Category:Dwór Ziobrowskich, Manor house in Borek Fałęcki district, Kraków, Poland.
Dwór Ziobrowskich is a single-storey brick manor house built around 1890 on a rectangular plan, with two shallow side projections and a mansard roof. A two-column portico with an arcade and steps frames the entrance, and its secessionist basket-handle window is the detail to look for. Window surrounds and cornices are modelled in plaster.
The Borek Fałęcki estate belonged to the nobility in the Middle Ages, then to the Church from 1382 until the first partition of Poland. In the early 19th century it passed to Ignacy Mierzejewski, and around 1890 to Nepomucena Hornowa. Stanisław Ziobrowski bought it between 1904 and 1908; the manor was built around 1890, and after 1945 the manor, farm and park were taken from the family, which recovered them in 2013.
The manor takes its name from the Ziobrowski family, who owned the Borek Fałęcki estate from the early 20th century; Stefan Ziobrowski held 147 hectares in the 1920s. In the landscape park, look for the tulip tree with about 20 trunks growing from a single base, a feature noted since the park was laid out after 1890.
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.
The landscape park laid out after 1890 held both native and exotic trees and shrubs, among them a tulip tree with twenty trunks growing from a single base; some specimens survive. Orchards were planted at its edges, and a main path ran from the oval drive before the manor to a chapel in the north-east corner.
