Manor House in Moszczanica

The manor and park complex in Moszczanica, a district of Żywiec, consists of a Neoclassical manor house from 1828 and the park surrounding it. The manor was built by Ignacy Zieliński, and from 1905 it belonged to the Kępiński family.

Manor and park

The building is Neoclassical. In 1877 stables with an administrator's flat were added, and the park was altered in 1920, after a first rebuilding in 1912. Rebuilding was carried out again in 1972, and in the communist period the manor belonged to the Ministry of Agriculture, later to the county office. It housed an agricultural school and a museum of musical instruments and household tools. The complex is entered in the heritage register under number A-598/89.

Piłsudski's stay

From 8 September to 3 October 1934 Marshal Józef Piłsudski stayed in the manor house for health reasons.
