The recently renovated classicist manor house, built before 1781, is interesting. The building has a rectangular plan, one-story, with a basement. With a high mansard roof with dormers. In both elevations there are two-storey apparent projections topped with triangular pediments. Around a landscape park (5 ha) with a pond and monumental trees, including 400-year-old oak. There is also a remnant of a farm with an unusual, neo-Gothic granary built around 1830 in the form of a defensive structure with windows imitating arrowslits, and octagonal corner towers topped with battlement (architecturally one of the most interesting buildings of this type in the country), also a former smithy and czworak from the 19th / 20th century. Today they are in private hands and you can watch them from behind the fence.
