Before the war, Mendel Glinstein, aka Jaśnie Tatko, lived in the manor in Niechmirów, and he won this land in a card game. He would come by carriage with his family to the ponds to rest during the Sabbath. Then, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, there was a farm here belonging to the Niechmirów manor. The manor workers lived in quads, there was a sheepfold and a shepherd's house with 200 sheep. The buildings are gone today, but you may encounter a herd of fluffy animals during your walks. But first you have to look for the treasure. You can't get to a house in the middle of nowhere using navigation. You have to look for a hiding place, because the name of our house is not accidental. It is difficult to be visible in the forest, on 17 hectares that are part of the Międzyrzecze Warta and Widawka Landscape Park, in an area filled with meadows and covered with old beeches and oaks. There will be even more trees, because we will give you one and ask you to plant it here. There are also ponds buried in the 1960s, which my father Jerzy recreated based on maps, and a river flowing in front of the house, the course of which he renewed. Now we have taken over the old orchard as a family.
Because Schowanko is our family project, a place full of nooks and crannies that we call hiding places. It was there that my mother, Magda, and I found furniture that, together with those found at antique fairs, filled the interior of the house with 4 bedrooms, a spacious dining room with a fireplace and a terrace. You will also be able to relax in the huge garden, inviting you to yoga sessions and outdoor parties, and in the seasonal barn, where there is a workshop room and a place to sit together. I will tell you that Schowanko has another meaning. It allows you to realize the vision of going to a place where you can disappear for a while, read, wander, relax and regenerate.

Sometimes we are on-site, sometimes we're not
I love nature and care for it. Schowanko is my place in the world, where I spent a large part of my childhood. A place where I learned to identify trees, built mini ponds for tadpoles, and hid in the rye fields. Now I want to share this place in the heart of Poland with others. The idea of a circular economy is dear to me, which is why at Schowanko I give second life to objects and use natural materials. Come and escape the hustle and bustle of the city, exchange it for the murmur of a stream and the clang of cranes.
Besides Schowanko, I'm also interested in the world of ethnology. I embark on journeys, both small and large, including those that delve into my inner self.
