The half-timbered house on the Blaurock Erbhof (Polish Dworek Oporowski , also Dwór szachulcowy w Oporowie ) is located in Oporów (German Opperau ), which was incorporated into Wroclaw in 1951 . The house is considered to be the oldest preserved half-timbered building in Silesia .

history

The village of Opperau , which has been occupied since 1201, initially belonged to the Leubus Monastery and later became part of the Wroclaw Cathedral Chapter , in whose possession it remained until the secularization in Prussia in 1810.

The building was erected in the mid-16th century as a representative half-timbered house for the episcopal administrator of the ancestral farm. Later it was presumably also called "Blaurock Erbhof" after an owner. In 1937/38 it was extensively renovated in accordance with a listed building.

After the transition to Poland as a result of World War II in 1945, the building was left to decay. After the political change in 1989, it was makeshift secured. In 1997 a stone portal was stolen.
