Manor in Prusewo

The first mention of the village of Prusewo dates back to 1342 when it concerned the borders of the Żarnowiec monastery. Prusewo belonged to wealthy Prussian families such as Wittke, Krokowski, and Przebendowski. In 1623, this land was owned by Gneomar Reinhold Krokowski, and later it served as a so-called "królewszczyzna." From 1777 to 1797, the estate belonged to the Przebendowski family, and then from 1797 to 1835 to the von Zabokrzycki family. After 1863, this land was acquired by the German Fliessbach family. However, it was only the last owners of the farm, the Fliessbachs, who decided to build an impressive residence at the beginning of the 20th century. After 1945, the State Center for Breeding was housed in this building, and at the turn of the 20th/21st centuries, it was transformed into a beautiful hotel with a conference center. The building consists of three wings arranged in the shape of a horseshoe, with a ceremonial courtyard open to the east. The wings are single-story, covered with high mansard roofs. The main body has an additional floor in the roof and is decorated on the facade axis with four columned porticos, connected to a second-floor loggia. After the last renovation, the interior of the manor received a stylized, elegant decor. Behind the residence, there are well-kept French-style gardens and a small park with monumental trees such as oaks and lindens. From the original farm complex, partially preserved are the livestock buildings clustered around the farmyard, as well as the distillery.
