Manor House in Kamyk

The manor house in Kamyk is a Classicist building from 1840, standing on Plac Wincentego Witosa in Kamyk in Kłobuck County. It is entered in the heritage register, and its front is distinguished by a columned portico.

History

The manor house was built by Mikołaj Aleksander Kołaczkowski. In the second half of the 19th century farm buildings and a park were created around it. In 1941-1943 the interiors were rebuilt. After the Second World War the building was renovated, and in 1972-1977 it housed the seat of the Kamyk municipality. A restaurant later operated here, and after it moved out the building, then owned by the Kłobuck municipality, stood unused. Today it is privately owned.

Architecture

The manor house is of brick, single-storey, with a narrower mezzanine, built on a quadrangular plan. At the front stands an imposing Tuscan columned portico topped with a triangular pediment, while on the garden side the walls are articulated by Tuscan pilasters. The whole is crowned with an entablature with triglyphs in the frieze, and from the garden side the date of construction can be seen on it: 1840.
