  • The manor house stands on a stone foundation, has a basement, is one-story with a high attic.The windows have carved frames and decorative shutters. Attention is drawn to the terrace, and above itm balconies with a decorative wooden gallery. The main body is topped with a gabled roof, and a deer head is fixed in the finial. The beams and supports are decorated with carved ornamentation. When designing the interior of the house, Brunon Konczakowski demonstrated a refined taste for hunting, a peculiar art that only the disciples of St. Hubert adhere to. The choice of furniture, the color of the walls, the darkened wooden paneling, on each wall hunting trophies, a medallion of an odyssey from 1913, a gun rack, photographs, drawings, engravings and hunting paintings - all this creates a whole, which is an expression of the form of a hunting residence. The dining room has an Art Nouveau stove with green tiles, a soft light dimmed by a papyrus lampshade and the walls decorated with hunting scenes. The smaller lounge collects the most valuable exhibits, namely: a bear javelin covered with leather an antique cutlass, and at the ceiling hangs a statue of a winemaker with horns instead of legs tasting branded wine. The exhibits listed resemble a Tyrolean inn. "Konczakówka" preserves a residual part of the former owner's collection. The more valuable exhibits have contributed to museum collections in Wawel and Cieszyn as well as in the Museum of the Polish Army in Warsaw. A peculiarity of the Museum in Cieszyn ( from Konczakowski's collection ) are specimens of "cieszynek" rifles, lined with bone, the pride of Cieszyn gunsmiths. Next to the standing manor house, the attraction is the chapel of St. Hubert made of Breslau sandstone hiding a colorful stained glass window with the image of the patron saint of hunters. This work of art comes from the Cracow Stained Glass Works. To this day, in one of the seven bedrooms stands the bed of Herman Gerging Hunter of the Third Reich. During the People's Republic of Poland, Konczakowski Manor served government personalities from home and abroad. Since 1989, the building has served as a training and recreation center for the Forestry Commission of Ustroń. The manor has 16 places in double rooms with WC and bathroom. The area around the manor house is fenced on an area of about 3 hectares.
