W sprawie dworu obronnego w Jakubowicach Końskich
The reinforced manor house at Jakubowice Końskie
has been revealed as late as in 1963 during on-the-
spot surveys conducted in connection with editorial
works .aimed at preparing the publication of a consecutive
issue of Catalogue of Monuments of Art
in Poland covering the territory of Lublin district.
An analysis of architectural forms and styles present
in object, the preserved architectural detail (as, for
example, the Gothic brick bond in walls, the ashlar
quoins built-up of alternating longer .and shorter
pieces, ogival jambs in cellar, profiled door-posts)
and also some analogies apparent between the manor
house in question and the reinforced manor houses
at Jeżów and Wieruszyce allowed to date this object
back to the first half of the 16t.h century. The eastern
part of this manor house was reconstructed and
extended probably in the 18th century and then in
the turn of the 19th century. It has burnt out in 1966
and was partly demolished. The historical documentation
is now under preparation together with an
architectural design for its preservation in form of
a lasting ruin. However, this decision seems to be
one poorly reasoned and provokes to advance an
opinion that it would be advisable to make a repeated
analysis of possibilities to rebuild .and develop
both the object and its surrounding.
