It is a brick, one-storey structure with full basement. On the east side, there is a landscape park set up at the end of the 19th century with an old oak, a natural monument. On the north-west side of the manor, there is a graveyard with a stone monument.

History of the site

The name of the village probably derives from the Czulicki family who owned the village for about five centuries. The most famous of them, Jan and Imram Senior, fought in the Battle of Grunwald. (Imram died; Jan Długosz recalls him as one of 12 prominent knights killed in the battle).

The first references to manor buildings surrounded by a moat come from before 1498.

The second manor house, which burnt down at the end of the 18th century, was erected by the road to the village, on the edge of the contemporary park. The new one was erected on the present-day site for Prof. Adam Krzyżanowski of the Jagiellonian University at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1870 the house became the property of the Dębski family. Presumably, they decided to extent it north. They also set up a park and built ponds (no longer existing today) south of it. North of the manor house, they erected a small storage building (also non-existent). Further changes took place during the ownership of the Wollens (from 1902). The shingle roof was replaced with a ceramic interlocking tile. The manor buildings were extended and renovated, and the access road to the house was moved from the north-west to the east direction (along the south edge of the park). During the Great War, Russian troops were stationed in the manor. They plundered the estate; later on, the complex suffered during fights taking place in the area of Czulice.  The property was rebuilt by Franciszek van Wollen, the son of Wilibald Feliks van Wollen, the owner of the Czulice estate.  The war cemetery located on the premises was established in that time (west of the manor house). 16 Austro-Hungarian soldiers, who fell in November 1914, are buried in a mass grave. Until 1945 the property was owned by the Wollen family. After 1945 it was transferred to the Polish Association of Plant Breeders and after 1950 was taken over by a state-owned farm.

In the years 1990-2000, the manor house building housed a primary school. However, it was liquidated during an educational reform. Currently, the land is leased by a private user.

Description of the site

The manor complex is located in the west part of the village,  south of the local road from Czulice to Karniów. To the west of the house, there is a small yard or meadow with a monument to soldiers fallen in 1914. East of the manor house, there is a park and to the south the traces of old ponds.  The north-west part of the complex is a former grange with several farm buildings. Most of them are contemporary and architecturally dull buildings (former state-owned farm). The only exception is a two-storey brick granary from the first half of the 19th century to the north of the manor house.

A one-storey manor house with a basement, covered by a gable roof (approx. 35˚). The annexes have double-sloped roofs. The house is built on the plan of an elongated rectangle with a porch before the main entrance, on the wall axis on the east side, a smaller porch on the south side and an annexe with stairs leading to the cellars and the loft at the north wall. The interior has a two-bay layout (three-bay in the south section). The plastered façades have no architectural or artistic ornamentation. A stone, plastered plinth runs around the façades at the bottom, and a small cornice directly under the eaves at the top. The front (east) façade has seven axes and a glazed, brick porch on the central axis. The west façade has five axes and alternating two- and three-light windows. At the north gable wall, there is a brick outhouse with an entrance to a vestibule: from there stairs to the basement and to the loft. In the south gable wall, there is a small annexe with an entrance to a vestibule. At the ground floor level, there are three asymmetrically placed two-light windows: one to the left of the vestibule and two to the right. Over the annexe, there is a small loft window in the axis of the façade. The entrances through the east and south porches are preceded by several concrete steps.

All facilities are unfenced. The manor house is accessible from the outside.
