The Regional Museum of Limanowska Land is located in a historical old Polish manor. The gentry living there owned Stara Wieś, to the south of Limanowa. The manor marked the boundary of that village and town until WWII. The history of Stara Wieś and families in charge of it goes back to the 15th century. The manor originated in the 17th century. Its development occurred when it was managed by the Dydyński family (from the mid-17th century to the 1840s) and by the Mars family (1853-1945) after whom the manor was named. Among other things, the estate used to include a brewery (the building currently houses the Poviat starost office), a park (its remnants currently constitute the Town Park), a Neogothic chapel of St. Valentine (mid-19th century), a livestock farm (currently privately owned) where the Polish ‘red’ breed of cattle were raised in the past as well as fields and forests (currently a housing estate). The conference hall of the manor presents an exhibition focused on the Mars family, with the original manor furniture in the Louis Philippe style from about 1860 and numerous family memorabilia.
