Łękanów

Łękanów [wɛnˈkanuf] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Niechlów, within Góra County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in western Poland.

In the 18th century, it was annexed by Prussia, and from 1871 it was part of the German Empire, within which, as Lanken it was administratively located in the Province of Lower Silesia and was property of Counts of Schlabrendorf, who had a majorat in the palace of Seppau (Szczepów), some 20 kilometers away.

After the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, in 1945, borders shifted and the region became again part of Poland, although with a Soviet-installed communist regime.

The manor was divided and parts of it were given to a collective farm run by the state.

A state-owned agency which owned the remnants of the manor—more than six hectares of land and buildings—sold it in 2013 to a private owner who plans to restore the manor house to its 19th-century shape, renovate the outbuildings as well as rebuild ruined structures to house a hotel.
