Haunted Manor and the entire Chodzie\u017c enjoyed their golden years during the interwar period.<\/em><\/p>\n

Manczak brothers, Stanis\u0142aw, the owner of the faience factory, and Sylwester, the artist in charge, set the tone. The brothers employed half the town and created a brand of kaolin tableware recognisable in Europe thanks to its original design.<\/p>\n

The residence on Lake Strzelecki was at the heart of these developments activities. When doctors discovered that the microclimate in Chodzie\u017c was good for the respiratory system, Gebhard Br\u00fchl built a luxury guesthouse in 1904. He built a palace in the then fashionable Tyrolean style with references to German Romanticism. The manor house was bought in 1921 by Stanis\u0142aw Ma\u0144czak, converted into a representative villa and named after his favourite opera by Stanis\u0142aw Moniuszko.<\/p>\n

The bowling alley built next door was the heart of interwar Chodzie\u017c. The largest hall was used for concerts, performances, town festivities, meetings of fraternities and societies, it was here that the Chodzie\u017c elite met. We want to restore the Haunted Manorto its former glory and make it a vibrant meeting place once again.\u2028Chodzie\u017c faience was the adornment of every home. This is thanks to Sylwester Manczak, who introduced new designs to the crockery produced here. Chodzie\u017c faience featured floral and geometric patterns, landscapes and folklore painted in the art d\u00e9co style. The Chodzie\u017c factory became the largest faience producer in Poland, exporting more than half of its production to the Netherlands, the European birthplace of faience, as well as to Belgium and Scandinavia.<\/p>\n

The Manczak family changed the town. The success of their ceramics increased production, gave jobs to hundreds more locals and convinced the public of the \u2018unparalleled quality of the local products\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
