This is the result of the longing for the past world. this world was presented idealistically in Polish literature, which is proved by the following sites of the past: Soplicowo, Korczyn, Zasławek or Serbinowo. The manor house was a stronghold, pillar of tradition and national identity. The manor house in Drozdowo where the Lutosławscy family has lived since the 18th century also played such a function. The author focused to show in the article the daily life of inhabitants of Drozdowo since 1855, when the host of the house after the death of Wincenty Lutosławski was his son Franciszek Dionizy.
