The museum is housed in a late Baroque manor house built of larch, with four alcoves, constructed during the years 1752-1757 for the family of a moderately well-to-do nobleman by the name of Wladyslaw Bartochowski, Count/h. of Rola, the castellan of Wielun, and Master of the Royal Hunt in Sieradz; it was restored during the years 1970-1980. In 1981, it became the Museum of the Wielun Region, which then had interiors on display. Eighty percent of the collections come from the former manors of the Wielun region that had continued to operate until the end of the Second World War. Studies of the properties from those manors conducted during the years 1974-1986 yielded up many valuable items, including art, furniture, artistic crafts and archival materials. These illustrate the way of life of the Wielun nobility, its degree of wealth, its aesthetic tastes, and the quality of provincial craftsmen who were working for the landed gentry, for example.

The most valuable items in the museum's collections are: the collection of portraits of the Wielun nobility from the seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century, furniture, including cabinets, trunks, a chest of drawers from the eighteenth century and kontusz belts (pasy kontuszowe), Meissen porcelain, silver from the eighteenth century, everyday items, photo albums, official documents, souvenirs, letters, accessories and hunting trophies.

Permanent exhibition: "The Old Polish Manor House" - rooms open to the public - salon, hunting office, bedroom, boudoir of the lady of the house, young woman's room, dining room.
