MANOR HOUSE IN KOMORNO

The manor house in Komorno was constructed in 1760 on the site of a late-Baroque manor destroyed by fire. The building sustained damage during the war but was successfully renovated in 1947. This Classicist palace, a single-storey structure with a basement and attic, is listed in the register of monuments. In the post-war years of 1947–1949, the building housed an Agricultural Accounting School. Subsequently, in 1952, the Agricultural Mechanisation Centre, which trained tractor drivers, was relocated here from Chróścina Opolska. Later, a Technical School for Animal Husbandry was opened in 1955, followed by an Technical School of

Agriculture in 1960.

Today, the manor is cared for by the 'Park and Manor in Komorno Association' (Stowarzyszenie Park i Dworek w Komornie). The association is dedicated to preserving the site's cultural and natural heritage, protecting the complex from deterioration, financing conservation and construction works, and revitalising the park and its pond.

The manor is situated within a five-hectare landscape park featuring magnificent ancient trees. The park boasts over 1,000 specimens representing 35 deciduous and 8 coniferous species, including numerous rare examples. Founded circa 1800,

the grounds were transformed in 1858 into a Romantic-style park with an irregular layout and a pond featuring an artificial island. The park contains three legally protected nature monuments: two spreading London planes (named Anna Maria and Witold) and a small-leaved lime (Sophie).
