Manor House in Bełczna

Bełczna Manor House stands in the south-eastern part of the village in Łobez municipality, in Łobez County, and forms a residential and park complex with the former farm. The manor house is built of brick, and together with the park it is covered by an entry in the heritage register.

The building and park

According to the entry on Bełczna, the eclectic manor house was built in the second half of the 19th century, and in the early 20th century it was extended, giving the whole the shape of the letter T. The front façade has a three-bay projecting bay crowned in the middle by a triangular tympanum. The heritage register dates the building itself to the first quarter of the 19th century. Behind the manor house extends a landscape park laid out in the 19th century, with old trees; among the trees a sycamore with a circumference of 370 cm stands out.

Until 1691 Bełczna belonged to the Borcke family. In the 18th century the village consisted of four parts, which in 1817 were united by one owner. In 1927 the estate (then Neukirchen) covered 611 hectares.
