---

Manor Biecz (Beitzsch) in Biecz, Poland, is an 18th-century Baroque palace complex tied to the von Wiedebach noble family since 1316, originally built as a 16th-century Renaissance defensive manor with a moat on the site of an earlier Gothic residence, later expanded by Otto Jerzy von Wiedebach in the 17th century and transformed into a luxurious seat by Friedrich Gottlob von Wiedebach around 1795-1797.

The L-shaped, multi-story brick structure features a main corps with a four-sloped roof, side wings, a distinctive 1683 gate tower with a unique wooden helmet, two outbuildings, and a landscape park, preserving original interiors like a ballroom, historic woodwork, and a rare 16th-century roof truss.

After WWII abandonment and decay, local enthusiasts and the Monumenta Poloniae Foundation secured it in 2018, conducting emergency stabilizations including roof repairs by 2025 to prevent collapse while highlighting its role in Lower Lusatian heritage.
