Explore Place

Dworek Gościnny in Szczawnica is a theatre and hotel building, the foundations of which were laid in 1875 on the initiative of the founder of Szczawnica, Józef Szalay. The building was ceremonially opened in 1884 and to this day (admittedly with interruptions) serves the town as a multifunctional cultural and business centre.

Unique architecture
The Guest House has been given a distinctive style, typical of the region. It was built of larch wood and has numerous galleries, dormers and turrets.
Cultural meeting place
At the turn of the 20th century, Dworek Gościnny became the centre of cultural and entertainment life in Szczawnica. Famous personalities such as Helena Modrzejewska, Ludwik Solski or Maria Konopnicka visited the place, giving lectures, readings, and staging their plays.
Fire and reconstruction
In 1962, a fire broke out in the Guest House Manor, destroying the wooden structure. However, thanks to the efforts of the heirs of Count Adam Stadnicki and the local authorities, the Manor House was rebuilt and reopened in 2011.
Jazz bar
In the lower part of the Manor House is the club restaurant Jazz Bar serving international cuisine with elements of regional cuisine. You can eat here not only a burger, but also sushi or crème brûlée!

Pears in the willow tree

Rare species

Rare species
Just outside the Manor House grows a specimen of a very rare species of tree - the Willow Tree Pear. This is a variety of pear tree that grows in the Middle East and has narrow, grey-green leaves, confusingly similar to the willow tree. In the 20th century, an anecdote spread that the plant was the result of a pear tree being grafted onto a willow tree, but the myth was later debunked by experts.

The founder of the park, Jan Kutschera, and the founder of the spa, Jozef Szalay, invested considerable resources to bring rare tree specimens to Štiavnica. For example, in 1889, an impressive 10,000 seedlings were planted in the park! In the following years, Adam Stadnicki, as another owner of the Štiavnica area, expanded the park area by 11 hectares, planting larch trees. Thanks to these joint efforts, a variety of interesting plant species can now be found in the upper park.
