The Manor House in Łopuszna

Key information

Łopuszna Manor is a larch noble manor built around 1790 at the foot of the Gorce Mountains, at 2 Gorczańska Street. Since 1978 it has been a branch of the Tatra Museum in Zakopane and part of the Lesser Poland Wooden Architecture Trail. The single-storey rectangular building, with a broken shingle roof, presents the style and everyday life of the former Podhale nobility.

History and exhibition

The grange at Łopuszna existed as early as the 16th century. The manor was associated with the Lisicki, Tetmajer and Lgocki families. After the defeat of the November Uprising, the poet Seweryn Goszczyński hid here in 1832 and described Łopuszna in his Travel Diary to the Tatras. The exhibition covers the manor, village, residents and guests, and introduces Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer and Włodzimierz Tetmajer.
