Dwór (manor House)
A manor house of Polish nobility is called dwór''Note:'' Here '' dwór'', literally "court", corresponds to the use of the word "Court" in the names of British manor houses or dworek in Polish. The architectural form of the Polish manor house evolved around the late Polish Renaissance period and continued until the Second World War, which, together with the communist takeover of Poland, spelled the end of the nobility in Poland.
