Mansions in Poland - brief introduction to Polish mansions

Polish mansions are smaller in size than palaces, still as beautiful and charming. They are mainly one-storey buildings by definition, built on a large floor plan. Finished with a porch and usually surrounded by a park complex with old trees are very picturesque and cosy to live in. Also accompanied by few outbuildings. They descend from Polish noblemen tradition from XVII to XIX century, some had been built at the beginning of XX century. Mostly built in countryside, although some of Polish mansions are located in towns and suburbs.

One of Polish aristocrats, Zygmunt Czartoryski, wrote about the specific climate of Polish mansions: 'Country mansions are built sideways, not upwards, spreading to the left and right. In a case that there is not enough room to contain everything, it is advised to built extensions rather than the second or more storeys. The pleasure of living in such mansions was the ease of leaving to an open field and spending more time on the open air, sometimes even doing some everyday chores and tasks outside. When you live on the second floor, you lose this convenience and pleasure.'

Large Polish mansions are called 'dwor', and smaller mansion - 'dworek'. Sometimes it is hard to distinguish between a large mansion - dwor - and a small palace.
