Stawisko: A typical polish manor

Gołębia 1, Podkowa Leśna

Stawisko is an estate in the Podkowa Leśna municipality in the Mazowieckie Voivodeship of Poland, now known as the Stawisko Museum. Originally, it was a country estate of industrialist Stanisław Wilhelm Lilpop.

In 1922, Lilpop gave the estate of more than 35 hectares to his daughter Anna after her marriage with writer Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz. In 1928, the couple had a residential house built by architect Stanisław Gądzikiewicz.

The house has a neoclassical character and is a fine example of the Polish manor style (Styl dworkowy), which was especially widespread in Mazovia in the interwar period. Mostly, these were small to medium-sized houses with discreet porticos and hipped roofs.

In the 1930s Stawisko became an important cultural center for famous Polish writers and composers.

The Iwaszkiewicz family bequeathed the property to the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. Since 1980, it has housed a museum with original memorabilia of the writer, including manuscripts, paintings and furniture.
