In Ruszków near Koło, at the end of the 18th century, a manor house was built on a rectangular plan. The two-bay building with a hall on the axis had a broken, shingled roof with pediments. A characteristic feature of the manor house were the walls of the first floor made using the skeleton technique. Shortly afterwards, the western wing was added. In the mid-19th century, a square porch was built, creating a vestibule lit by two pointed arch windows, and above it, the first floor gained a small terrace. In 1984, at the request of the Provincial Conservator of Monuments, it was inventoried, and in 1990 it was recreated in Gosławice (without the western wing). Currently, an exhibition entitled "Polish Manor" is presented here. On the ground floor, in an enfilade, there are rooms: a sideboard, dining room, living room, study, bedroom, wardrobe. On the first floor, all rooms have separate entrances from the corridor. There are: a guest room, a children's room and a boudoir. There is no kitchen in the manor house. It was located in an unrestored outbuilding. The rooms were heated using tiled stoves. The source of heat for the upper rooms located on the first floor were fireplaces.
