The Jahangir and Gowriyeh monuments, located in Ilam province, were excavated from 2015 through 2019 because of the construction of the Kangir Dam. The lack of information about the date of construction, the sequence of residential layers, and the collapse of these monuments raised many questions. Trenches were dug at both sites revealing square plans without foundations, with walls based on the floors, and each site having its own function. Jahangir is larger than Gowriyeh, but their foundation type is different. The cultural materials retrieved from these sites documented two periods: the Sasanian and the early Islamic. The Islamic period settlement is more substantial in Gowriyeh. The results of the excavations reveal the social process of the high-ranked level of Sasanian society in the region according to the royal-local architecture methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. The article deals with one of the objects of cultural heritage, forming the architectural appearance of a fragment of the historical centre of Tyumen. Kolmakov’s house is one of the best examples of a special type of public urban development, the so-called “trading house”, the appearance of which is the result of the economic development of the city in the late XIX – early XX centuries. A comprehensive analysis is presented, including historical, archival and field studies of the former trade house of A.S. Kolmakov, which is a part of a vast estate complex. The main purpose of this study is to provide information on the specifics of a special type of public building of a “trading house”, namely, about the space-planning, design, architectural and artistic features of the object. The considered example of of work organization with subsequent implementation answers the actual issues of preserving the uniqueness of historical and architectural environment in cities, use and inclusion of cultural heritage objects in the modern life of the city. The study and popularization of significant objects that form the architectural image of the city is an important and necessary process both for the creation of a diverse high-quality urban environment and education in the field of national history and culture.Materials and methods. The study of the object of cultural heritage is based on the complex approach, including the analysis and use of pre-revolutionary and modern archival, bibliographic sources; collection and processing of documents, graphic and photographic materials; results of field survey (photo-fixation, measurements); systematization of research results.Results. The results of the building survey are given, town-planning, architectural-artistic, constructive and engineering features of the object are considered.Conclusions. On the basis of the presented material, the team under the direction of A.I. Klimenko developed the projects of restoration and adaptation of the cultural heritage object to include the object in the modern life of the city.

In 1689, a German-written land registry of the Jeseník estate was created; this is one of the most important archival sources for the history of early modern Jeseník (German: Freiwaldau). It is the oldest description of the town and its immediate surroundings. The original of the book is stored in the Land Archive in Opava in the fund of Velkostatek (Manor) Jeseník and also includes the chamber estates of Supíkovice and Mikulovice, which were attached to the estate. In the introduction, the author of the land registry, the bishop's scribe and clerk of the nobility's office, Wentzel Ferdinand Müller, describes, in detail, the manor, the regional governor's office, the town administration, the parish, the local school, the almshouse and, in more detail, the manor house with other superior authority operations, together with the benefits from his own management. An important part of the article is formed by the summaries of the estate's income with monetary and in kind benefits from the entire estate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Marianna Potocka née Kątska (1722-1768), starostess of Lviv, is an extraordinary figure. She is considered a precursor of the Polish Enlightenment, a bibliophile, and an art patroness. She inherited a huge fortune of the Kątski, Denhoff, and Szczuka families, which became the foundation of the Potocki family’s later economic power. Together with her husband, Eu-stachy Potocki (1720-1768), she was engaged in large-scale business and patronage activities. Still, little is known about daily life at the Potocki’s manor. Therefore, the article focuses on presenting her activities, especially in the areas of managing her extensive estates, raising and educating her children, and charitable activities. These factors created her everyday life.

This paper presents the results of the analysis of a portion of movable finds gathered during the archaeological research of the manor house near Orahovica in 2017 and 2019. Likewise, this paper brings results of the study of the manor house compared to similar residences in the medieval Kingdom of Hungary. The medieval manor house near Orahovica is situated at the foot of the Ružica grad, one of the biggest castles in Croatia. The estate was ruled by numerous prominent individuals, among others, Nicholas of Ilok, who was one of its most notable owners and one of the biggest magnates of the late medieval Kingdom of Hungary. Very few sources mention the manor house, and the ones that do, do not offer any additional information about it. Archaeological excavations began in 2017 and continued in 2019 and 2020. Movable finds discovered mostly include typical late medieval and early modern ceramic finds. Sigismund of Luxembourg, Holy Roman Emperor’s coin minted between 1430 and 1437 is a significant find. Thus far, there are three recognized phases of additions to the main three-room building. The excavations conducted in 2020 revealed structures in the vicinity of the manor house, which point to the existence of a larger complex. In continental Croatia, there are no similar late medieval manor houses known and excavated so far. Research of manor houses in the area of the late medieval Kingdom of Hungary similar to the one near Orahovica enabled the detection of a group of residential and economic complexes which could play an important role in understanding and interpreting the results of further archaeological research of this site.

Tüköry Mansion in Dioš (Diósszentpál), Croatia, was designed by architects Ernő Foerk and Gyula Sándy in 1904. It is situated near the Central Slavonian town of Končanica and in close proximity of Daruvar, on an estate that belonged to Tüköry family. The late-historicist country house was commissioned by Paula von Falkenberg, a widow of Alajos Tüköry de Algyest, as a permanent residence for her and her three children. It was built in the eclectic late-historicist style of fin-de-siècle Hungary, highly inspired by the late-mediaeval art and architecture of northern Italy. Those stylistic influences were strongly manifested in the architectural design of the mansion, but even more its great hall, the focal point of its layout, designed in 1904–05. Based on both archival and terrain research, this paper aims to determine the main factors of cultural and architectural identity of the mansion by elucidating its history and stylistic genealogy.

In the early modern times belonged the village Nitrianska Blatnica to the dominions of Levice and Revište castles. Gradually, smaller separate dominion Blatnica set aside from this area, what instigated building the manor house there. In 70ties and 80ties of the 16th century let to built Ladislav st. Zelemeri - anti-Ottoman warrior and finance administrator of the archibishopric in Ostrihom his own manor house in the village. The manor house belongs to smaller type of partially fortificated manor houses with closed squared ground plan and four towers on the corners. The second phase - Late Renaissance period after 1666 - led by Pietro Spazzo, made to order of baron Ján Eszterházy, gave rise new external appearance of the residence. The third rebuilding phase, performed during 50ties and 60ties of the 18th century in Baroque style, intiated by Amália Limburg-Stirum and Adam Rajcsányi - the counsellor of the Hungarian Chamber and the Statholder's council, caused that, the manor house gained his modern external visual look in Baroque style. The fifth rebuilding period, initiated the most likely by Austrian businessman Alojz Haase, determined current appearance of the manor house in neostyle. (Translation: Petronela Križanová).

Except royal castles in major Norwegian towns, only two stone castles were built by Norwegian aristocrats in the High Middle Ages. All other aristocrats lived in wooden buildings. Of these only Lagmannsstova at Aga in Hardanger remains. It has been attributed to the appeal court judge Sigurd Brynjulffson, though to have been constructed at the end of the thirteenth century as one unique building. However, investigations show that the remaining hall made up less than onethird of a building complex containing two halls, a chapel, kitchen and living quarters, all built at the first half of the thirteenth century. Investigations also show that the powers of the appeal court judge were drastically expanded at the same time, not at least by the Norwegian Code of the realm of 1274. By relating judicial powers and manor house, we get a quite different image of the Norwegian aristocracy and bureaucracy in the High Middle Ages than the popular one of an egalitarian peasant society.

The hypothesis about the development of Poklek Manor House’s ground-plan presented in this paper is based on research into its façade, while the three-storey core consists of a square room and a narrow corridor with a staircase built inside the wall. The identical layout can be discerned in the ground-plans of numerous baroque buildings in the countryside or in urban areas of north-western Croatia. During a recent inspection in the field, as well as through research into some of the more complex structures, enough elements have been identified that point to a previously unknown form of spatial organization. This assumption is further reinforced by the historical illustrations of the buildings with typical ground plans, as well as by the independent conclusions of other researchers. Such a methodological approach proved to be the only possible one, since at present it is quite certain that the proposed hypothesis cannot be validated by focused and systematic research on an adequately large sample. The conclusions set out in this paper should thus be taken as an initial set of guidelines for future research, primarily conservation-restoration and archaeological studies, that aim to expand and systematize the scientific assessment of the typology and genesis of residential architecture within what may be significantly wider geographic area. It is concluded that the term curia refers to exactly those spatial cores from the second half of the 16th century. The owners were members of the small nobility and clergy, but also aristocrats, and these curiæ represent the simplest category of feudal architecture in continental Croatia at the beginning of the early modern period, while the elemental nature of the spatial organization points to their earlier origin.

Dumbwaiters in the nineteenth century Lithuanian gentry homes – a rare and today almost extinct engineering equipment. The aim of this research is to examine still existing and extinct dumbwaiters, to name the occurring cause of their emergence, determine the specific location in the house plan and connections to other premises and to present the operation scheme of the dumbwaiter. The research is based on in-situ sources, iconographic material, periodicals, research through comparative and synthesis methods. One dumbwaiter, four shafts without equipment, and two others have been detected and investigated with the fact of their existence. The results made it possible to present the image and functioning of dumbwaiters in the food supply system. It is expected that this study will help the new owners understand not only acquired cultural and historical value of manor houses, but also the culture of the nobility, which are adapted to the architecture and reflected the needs of the owners of everyday life culture. Santrauka Maisto keltuvai XIX a. Lietuvos bajorų namuose – reta ir beveik išnykusi inžinerinė įranga. Tyrimo tikslas – ištirti išlikusius ir išnykusius maisto keltuvus, įvardyti jų atsiradimo prielaidas, nustatyti būdingą vietą pastate ir ryšius su kitomis patalpomis, pateikti maisto keltuvo veikimo schemą. Tyrimo metu atlikus in situ, šaltinių ir ikonografinės medžiagos tyrimus, taikant analizės, lyginamąjį ir sintezės metodus, aptiktas ir tirtas vienas išlikęs maisto keltuvas, keturios šachtos, kitų – buvimo faktas. Tai leido pateikti gana išsamų maisto keltuvo ir jo funkcionavimo maisto tiekimo sistemoje vaizdą. Tikimasi, kad šis tyrimas ne tik papildys bajorijos kultūros, prie kurios prisitaikė architektūra, atliepdama savininkų kasdienybės poreikius, pažinimo lauką, bet ir padės naujiesiems savininkams suprasti įsigyto nekilnojamojo turto kultūrinę bei istorinę vertę, rūpintis jos išsaugojimu. Reikšminiai žodžiai: maisto keltuvas, dvarai, mechaninis stalas, valgomasis, kredensas, virtuvė.
