Muzeum Tradycji Szlacheckiej
The Museum of Noble Tradition is a branch of the National Museum in Gdańsk, located in the manor house of the Sierakowski noble family in the settlement of Waplewo Wielkie. During the time of the Sierakowski counts, the manor house had a library, created since the 18th century, containing some 11,000 volumes, and a sizeable art collection, including 400 paintings including works by Titian, Peter Paul Rubens, Albrecht Dürer, Aleksander Orłowski, Franciszek Smuglewicz, Andrzej Stech and the Meyerheim artists of Gdańsk. In the 1930s, the manor's estate was parcelled out by the authorities, with part of the collection going to Gdańsk. At the end of the war, the collections were dispersed and mostly disappeared. The few percent that survived are in the collections of the National Museum in Gdansk and the Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Gdansk. After the war, the estate passed into the hands of the State Agricultural Farms; since the late 1970s, the entire building has been entered in the register of historical monuments.
Since November 2006, the building belongs to the National Museum in Gdańsk, which has created there, in addition to the Museum of Noble Tradition and the Pomeranian Centre for Contacts with the Polish Diaspora. In 2012-2015, the palace complex, which occupies more than 20 hectares, was revalorised by renovating the walls of the building and restoring the original appearance of the palace facade and orangery. In the interior, the floors, doors, windows and panelling were conserved or reconstructed. Among other things, the floors made oflandzki limestone, made from the fronts of antique Gdansk cabinets and (on the basis of archival photographs) the fanlight flanked with decorative pilasters in the Gdanski Hall and the dining room were reconstructed, the statue of Minerva standing in front of the entrance was restored and the stained-glass windows in the hallway were reconstructed. The historic furnishings, furniture and works of art, although reminiscent in style of the palace's heyday, only found their way to Waplewo after the 19th-century restoration; most of the original equipment was lost during wars.
