Graboszyce is a village known from thirteenth century historical records whose ownership has passed through many hands. In the fourteen century and in the first half of fifteen century, the manor may have been located in the same place where we can see today's building. It might have been a complex of wooden buildings, which have left no traces. For a long time, Graboszyce belonged to the Brandys, a family of knights who originated from the Czech lands. At the end of the fifteen century and at the beginning of the sixteenth century, Klemens Brandys is mentioned living in the manor by the Radwan crest. During his ownership, the first brick manor was built (at least the lower part was), which remains as today’s cellars. In 1565, Graboszyce belonged to Dziwisz (Dionizy) Brandys, the king`s courtier and secretary. In the years 1570-1580, he built the Renaissance mansion which still stands in the village today. The mansion was built by anonymous builders who were inspired by architects Pietro Cataneo and Sebastian Serlio. The builders of the Graboszyce Manor wanted to implement the characteristical traits for the era such as the symmetry in buildings designed by the Italian architect Santi Guci. In eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the manor went through renovations, without changing its original layout.
