Manor House in Płotno

Płotno Manor House, with its palace wing, is an eclectic complex from the end of the 18th century, rebuilt at the end of the 19th century. It stands in a village in Pełczyce municipality, in Choszczno County, and is entered in the heritage register together with the park and the farm.

The building

The manor house was built at the end of the 18th century and rebuilt at the end of the 19th century. The eclectic form is marked by Neo-Baroque gables and dormers with domed helmets. The heritage register gives half-timbering as the technique. The complex also includes a park from the early 19th century, and the register also lists a farm from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

The Wedel estate

From 1795 until 1945 Płotno belonged to the von Wedel family. In the mid-19th century and in the early 20th century the estate's land exceeded 1,200 hectares, and about 270 people lived in the village. After 1945 the farm was nationalised.
