The manor was built around the mid-19th century as a typical example of a small manor complex with a quadrangular farmstead. The building, rectangular in plan, faces south, with a rectangular, lower annex added after World War II, adjacent to the west wall. The building's mass is compact, single-story, set on a high stone plinth, partially cellar. The main building is covered by a hip roof, while the annex has a gable roof with a slight slope. After the war, the farmstead passed into the hands of the State Agricultural Farm (PGR) in Malińce, while on 15.09.1992 the complex was taken over by the State Agricultural Property Agency, Poznań Branch. Currently, the building is in a state of ruin. (Inventory card of architectural and construction monuments)

The wooden larch manor house was built shortly after 1717 for the Koczorowski family. It is a single-story structure with two-story projections along the axis. The alcoves at the front and rear were probably added much later. A wooden porch precedes the entrance. After World War II, the manor gradually fell into disrepair until it had to be completely demolished, leaving only the original cellars. The manor's current appearance is the result of a thorough reconstruction carried out between 1984 and 1987, during which the wooden walls were replaced with brick ones. Only the boarded gables in the two-story projection of the front and rear elevations, with wavy flowing lines bordered by profiled moldings, retain their former appearance. Wavy gables with a simplified line (but much later and plastered) also crown the front walls of the alcoves today. The smooth plaster facades with rectangular windows are almost devoid of architectural detail, with the exception of pilasters accentuating the corners of the alcoves. The manor house is managed by the "Agrokompleks" Agricultural Production, Processing, Trade and Services Company in Osowiec. The building is inaccessible from the outside.
