Polish manor, like churches and oligarch residences, took great part in landscape creating in Poland. Even till now the Polish manor is one of the most characteristic feature of Polish architecture.

This was and still is Polish curse, that country is placed in the middle of Europe and is affected by almost every war. In Poland there are almost no places which are 'really' old towns. For example Warsaw Old Town, which is on UNESCO list, was totaly rebuild from a scratch. So have a look on panoramic photos what left and was rebuilt after many wars in Poland.
