CONSEVATION DILEMMAS – LARCHWOOD MANOR IN RZUCÓW – CASE STUDY

Abstract

Built in the years1884–1892 on the estate of Adam Mokiejewski in Rzuców, the manor thankfully survived the two World Wars into the present day. After the confiscation of the estate, the manor was adapted into a State Children’s Home. In 2011, the manor became private property, and the current problem was to adopt a conservation strategy that would allow a maximum of the building’s original historic substance to be preserved, while at the same time implementing a use programme adapted to current needs.
