Ruin of a Late Baroque manor house from 1799 in a neglected park with a natural-monument red oak
The manor house in Jasiona is a Late Baroque residence from the end of the 18th century, today a ruin. It stands in the municipality of Zbrosławice, on ulica Główna, in a neglected park, and is listed in the heritage register.
The manor house was founded in 1799 by Maksymilian Fragstein and his wife Franciszka Tluck. In 1880 a park of about two hectares was laid out around it, and a red oak that is now a natural monument still grows there. In 1945 the estate was damaged during the fighting, and in 1954 it was thoroughly renovated. In the communist period it was used by a state farm. Since the late 1980s the manor house has stood abandoned and has been falling into ruin.
The brick, plastered building was erected in the Late Baroque style with Neoclassical details, on a rectangular plan, with two storeys and a mansard roof. The seven-bay front elevation was broken by a two-storey projecting bay, with a vestibule on the ground floor and a chapel on the upper floor. Above the entrance hung a cast-iron plaque with the Fragstein coat of arms and the date of construction, replaced in the 20th century by an image of a peace dove and the date 1954. Today the ruin has no roof, ceilings or partition walls, and of the former decoration only fragments of fluted pilasters in the corners and window surrounds have survived.
Nearby is the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Kopienica-Łubie, and the Park Przygód i Atrakcji is about seven kilometres away.
