In the village situated on the bank of the Dunajec River, on the border of the Beskid Niski and Sącz Beskids, the Wielogłowski family built a Polish-style manor house in the 16th or 17th century, which has been used by Carmelite nuns since the 1950s.

In the 19th century, the larch mansion belonged to the Lanckorońskis. Before the Second World War, its owners were Maria and Gustaw Stuber. In 1958, Maria Stuberowa donated the manor and the surrounding estate to the Carmelite Sisters of the Child Jesus. The sisters set up a religious house and chapel in the manor with a picture of Our Lady of Częstochowa and a statue of the Child Jesus. The sisters served as organists, sacristans and catechists and worked among the sick and the poor. They also looked after the last owner of the manor until 1974. The manor was a monastery until 2005. A new religious house was erected between 2000 and 2005, and the manor house passed into private hands and stands unused.

The manor house was built in the Polish style in the 17th century from larch wood. It is a single-storey building of log construction, built on a rectangular plan with a wide front. In the past, its walls were plastered and painted. It probably had four corner alcoves, one of which survives covered by a tented canopy with dodging. Two porches were later added, including a spacious porch-veranda at the front and a substructure. In the rebuilt interior, traces of the classicist polychrome uncovered during the painting work have been preserved.

In front of the manor house is a stone statue of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception brought from Piekary Śląskie in 1962. Partially rebuilt brick manor houses from the 19th century have been preserved nearby. The manor park has not survived.
