In the past, Silesian Renaissance and Baroque manorial residences included a large number of buildings with a wooden skeleton construction. From the point of view of the shape of the solid and the plan of the interior, both those examples which survived up to our times (e.g. manors in Bielany, Oporow, Sieniawka, Mniszkow, Pruszowice and Wierzbowice) as well as those known only from iconography (e.g. manors in Zerniki, Rakowiec, Maślice, Kiełczowek, Skarszyn and Trestno) comprised a rather uniform group of single-storey constructions designed on a rectangular plan, in a two- course configuration, with the entrance hall on the axis. The manors were closely connected with the estate whose farm buildings were erected in direct vicinity. On the other side of the manors lay vegetable gardens and orchards as well as representative ornamental French gardens, with lavish fountains, pools and gazebos. The protection of the Silesian timber-framed manors is complicated both from the legal (the absence of regulated ownership rights) and technical point of view. Conservation difficulties concern the various materials which constitute the historical core of the buildings. Particularly endangered are the vertical, horizontal and diagonal links — all loosening and shifts facilitate the penetration of moisure into the resultant fissures, the foundering of fillings, and biological corrosion and, ultimately, diminish the stability of the whole construction. The majority of the above mentioned conservation problems pertains to the Baroque manor house in Pruszowice which in 1991 was discussed in a special Historical-architectonic Study containing directives for future conservation. The final effect was to assume the form of an adaptation of the object for the purposes of a creative work centre or a small exclusive hotel. Similar undertakings should be also conducted in other extant manor houses of this type, which must regain a place worthy o f their rank within the cultural landscape of Silesia.
