Historical outline:

Historical records do not mention any castle in Sobota. However during the research from 1985 in the walls of a present manor the remainders of a hexagonal tower were discovered. It is assumed that it originates from the XVth cent. and could have belonged to a defensive manor of the Doliwit Sobocki family.
As far as an existing neo-Gothic manor is concerned, it was constructed by the Zawisza family, and then extended in the Interwar period by the Stokowski family.
