In this manor, Czesław Miłosz argued with Jan Józef Szczepański about the meaning of the Warsaw Uprising. Thirty years earlier, the first patrol of Piłsudski's Legions stopped here to march from Goszyce to independence. The manor, which once belonged to the family of Jerzy Turowicz, co-founder and editor-in-chief of Tygodnik Powszechny, is now run by his descendants - and they invite guests to it, ”wrote Andrzej Franaszek, literary scholar and author of the biography of Czesław Miłosz and Zbigniew Herbert about Goszyce.
Indeed, our manor house is a historical place. Kazimierz Wielki, Jadwiga Andegaweńska and Władysław Jagiełło already mentioned Goszyce. In 1914, the commander of the legionary cavalry, Władysław Belina-Prażmowski, stayed in the manor, Józef Piłsudski visited here in the interwar period, and Czesław Miłosz also found shelter during World War II. Our manor house has seen and experienced a lot - that's why we forgive its squeaky floors and work all the time to restore its splendor. Come to our doorsteps to rest in a place of living history.
We invite you to the historic manor house, which dates back to the 19th century. The manor was built by my great-great-grandfather Artur Zawisza, probably according to the design of the famous Krakow-Lviv architect Teodor Talowski. The place is associated with the history of Poland primarily due to its last pre-war owner, Zofia Kernowa née Zawiszów. Zofia Zawiszanka was the only daughter of Maria Wolska and Artur Zawisza, a poet and writer, independence activist, intelligence officer of Piłsudski's 1st Legions Brigade.
We have five rooms for you in the manor:
- Dworskie Klimaty with a double bed, a 2-seater sofa and a bathroom,
- Comfortable with a double bed, two single beds and a bathroom in the hall,
- Cozy with a double bed and a bathroom,
- With View with a double bed, two single beds, a bathroom and the only balcony in the house,
- The middle one with three single beds and a bathroom.
We can accommodate up to 18 people.
The entire building consists of a 300-meter high ground floor, an attic partially undergoing adaptation and extensive basements illuminated by windows. On the ground floor there are 8 rooms: a library, a living room with a fireplace, a hall with a dining room, a kitchen, three rooms and three bathrooms and a separate toilet. In the attic there are 3 rooms with bathrooms. Not all rooms are available to guests. From the house you can conveniently access the southern and northern terraces and the garden, where you can usually sit all day. We have internet and signal here, but we pretend they don't exist and throw away our phones - we advise you to do the same.
The house is surrounded by a park with ponds and 20 hectares of arable fields and meadows.
There are mosquitoes and flies outside on hot, humid days, but they are not particularly bothersome. During the day, you can sometimes hear the sounds of a tractor, a circular saw or a hammer. And during harvest time, a combine harvester appears in the nearby fields.
One thing is certain - you will not leave us either hungry or thinner. Leave your diets for the next season, because we serve Mediterranean delicacies here. The kitchen is ruled by Marta, who successfully pampered Polish and French taste buds. Our cuisine is very varied - you will eat brilliant meat here, but we will also take care of vegetarians. We like recipes with lots of vegetables and fruit available seasonally, and we take them from our backyard. Some of the products, including dairy products and meat, are obtained from local farmers and processors who have been known to us for many years. We pay special attention to the quality of the products we use, their taste, nutritional values and, in the case of vegetables and fruit, an ecological way of growing. At the same time, we make all kinds of preserves, preserves, jams and tinctures, which we then use when preparing meals. Gluten lovers have a paradise here, because Marta also bakes her own spelled and rye sourdough bread.
You can order breakfast, lunch and dinner on site.
However, if you want to eat in a restaurant, we will tell you where to go.
First of all, you can sleep with us, get lost in sleep and borrow for all the times. Secondly, catch up on books from the last ten years or write your own. Thirdly, we encourage you to take a walk in our garden and in the nearby forest. Fourth, it is worth getting on the bike and traveling as many kilometers as you like. Fifth ... we will not reveal everything to you, but believe that you can do a lot here.
The main cultural, historical and musical attractions can be found mainly in nearby Krakow, where numerous events take place every year (e.g. Miłosz Festival, Jewish Culture Festival, Conrad Festival, Book Fair, Street Theater Festival, etc.), it is worth checking at an up-to-date calendar of events in the brochure. We are happy to advise you on what and where to find in Krakow at the moment, because we go there almost every day. Once you see the dragon, take a walk along the Planty Park or the Vistula Boulevards, visit the Salt Mine in Wieliczka, have coffee in Lanckorona, the Castle in Niepołomice or the Monastery in Tyniec. From the local attractions taking place in October, historical reconstructions of the Battle for Krakow in 1914 are organized here.
What’s there for children?
