Żarska Wieś Manor House

The manor house in Żarska Wieś stands in the western part of the village, in Zgorzelec County, and dates from the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, making it considerably older than most Lower Silesian manor houses listed in the heritage register. After two renovations it still serves as a residential building.

Shape and age of the building

This is a two-storey building built on a rectangular plan, covered by a hipped roof with a mansard, a solution typical of residences from the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. The windows are rectangular in shape and framed with surrounds. Next to the main building stand farm outbuildings, which have survived together with the manor house.

Rebuilding and renovations

The manor house underwent a major rebuilding in 1923, and was renovated again in 1973. These two interventions meant that the building has survived to this day in a condition allowing continued residential use, despite its age dating back to the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries.

Current function

The building serves a residential function and remains privately owned, so visiting the interior is not possible. The manor house can be seen from the outside, from the road running through the western part of Żarska Wieś.

Nearby

Within a few kilometres lie the palace in Sławnikowice and the palace in Lasów, and in Zgorzelec itself it is worth seeing the Zgorzelec-Görlitz Old Town Bridge.
