Dwór (manor House)
A manor house of Polish- Lithuanian nobility is called dwór or dworek in Polish and dvaras in Lithuanian. The architectural form of the manor house evolved around the late Polish Renaissance period and continued until the Second World War, which, together with the communist takeover of Poland and Soviet occupation of Lithuania, spelled the end of the nobility in both nations. A 1944 decree nationalized most mansions as property of the nobility; few were adapted to other purposes and many slowly fell into ruin. A vast majority of such mansions remain unused and are slowly deteriorating. Architectural history Noble manors in Poland were typically small to medium-sized residencies for the landed gentry.

Houses In Poland
Residential buildings in Poland are fundamentally divided into two main categories: single-family buildings (houses), and multi-family buildings (blocks of flats, apartment buildings). The former are meant to house only a small number of people, either one or a few families, while the latter are built with larger amounts of people living in their own separate areas of the same building in mind. There are also a few sub-categories, like multi-family houses (Polish: ''domy wielorodzinne''), which can house multiple families, but don't have separate flats inside, and don't usually have separate entrances to the building.
