The local landmark is the 18th-century manor house with an adjacent park.[2] Built by castellan Maciej Zbijewski, the manor passed to the Walewski family in the 19th century.[2] Kazimierz Stanisław Walewski amassed valuable paleontological, archival and art collections.[2] The manor houses the Walewski Museum, a branch of the Regional Museum in Sieradz, featuring historic manor interiors and the Walewskis' collection.[2]
History
During the German occupation of Poland in World War II, in 1940, the German gendarmerie carried out expulsions of Poles, who were first sent to a transit camp in Konstantynów Łódzki and then deported to the Kraków District in the more-southeastern part of German-occupied Poland.[3] The German occupiers either destroyed or looted a portion of the collection of the Walewski family, and the manor was occupied by German colonists.[2]
