The manor is fashioned after the noble residence from Łososina Górna belonging to a moderately well-off Pieniążek family whose estate used to be located near Limanowa. The original manor was built in the early 19^th century in the neoclassical style as a U-shaped, single-floor, two-bay building with two side wings at the back. It burned to the ground in February 1980. The museum reconstruction, while retaining the general proportions, emulates the historical shape of the exterior. The interiors were adapted to the contemporary auxiliary functions. There is a spacious vestibule in the central part of the ground floor, used from time to time as a rotating exhibition gallery, and a specialist library with a reading room was arranged in the western wing.
