The Pieczyska manor house, Chynów commune, Grójec district, built between 1833 and 1844
The building originally served as a rectory in the Pieczyska parish. It was built when the role of pastor belonged to Father Jan Plewczyński. During that period, the interior layout was different; the walls weren't plastered, and the roof was covered with thatch instead of shingles. The building of the rectory was transferred to our museum in 1981 and adapted into a manor house from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. The modifications included slightly changing the interior layout and architectural form, among others, by equipping the entryways with column porches. In 2024, the interior arrangements were changed, in accordance with the descriptions and illustrations of the Pieczyska manor house dating back to the 1860s, when it was under the ownership of the Tański family.
The building was constructed from larch logs, has plastered walls, and a hipped roof covered with shingles. There are windows located in the eave of the gabled roof, and in both front walls there are two entrances preceded by symmetrically located porches with decorative columns. An entrance hallway that goes through the centre of the building connects both porches. There are rooms on both sides of the hallway: on one side a study and a drawing room, on the other a dining room and a bedroom. At the back of the dining room there is a dresser; behind the bedroom is a utility hall with stairs to the attic. Part of the manor house has a basement consisting of two chambers built of fieldstones.
Thanks to original drawings by Czesław Tański from his diary, we were able to partially recreate the interior of the Pieczyska manor house from the artist's youth. We chose to depict the inner layout as it was between the years of 1861 and 1880.
Due to the layout of the building, we present five interiors: a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom combined with a study, a dining room, and the grandmother's room.
