Summary/Abstract: Mikołaj manor house, together with the last farm buildings, is a remnant of an extensive mayor’s estate, whose name dates back to the 17th century. Meanwhile, within the estate of the Wadowice mayor, there were two manors, which were described in the inventory of this estate in 1721. Thus, the analyzed source is one of the few pieces of evidence for researching the past and appearance of wooden manors around the city of Wadowice. In the article, the author presented the appearance of both manors and compared them with the 18th-century appearance of the surrounding noble manors, in order to provide a synthetic characterization of the manors and noble residences near Wadowice in the 18th century.
