Łobżany (pronunciation: [wɔbˈʐanɨ], German: Labes A und D, Labes Tivoli[2]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Łobez, within Łobez County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[3] It lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) north of Łobez and 76 km (47 mi) north-east of the regional capital Szczecin. The village is located about one kilometre from Voivodeship Road no. 148.[1] Łobżany may also be accessed via a field path connected to the Przemysłowa Street in Łobez. Before 1945 the area was part of Germany.[4] Between 1975 and 1998, the village was a part of Szczecin Voivodeship. The village has a population of 80.

The manor house in Łobżany.

Łobżany is a post-manor farm village which came into existence as a descendant of two manor farms whose land agents were the Borck family. The source of the village's name suggests that the village was closely associated with Łobez in the past.[2] The last owner of the tenement until 1945 was Martha von Borcke.[2]

There is an 1880 manor house in Łobżany with some features of renaissance architecture,[5][6] built by Louis von Borcke.[2] It is a two-story building with a wooden porch entrance.[1] The original kitchen lift within is preserved.[1] The building is capped with a flat roof, incorporating lower pavilions with bay windows on each side.[2] The whole building is capped with an arched moulding decorated with fruit and blossom designs.[2]

In front of the manor house is a park in which yews, considered a natural monument, are grown.[6] There is also a nearby park with high larches.[7] Łobżany has a wilderness hut and a village day-room.[1] The whole complex is surrounded in the north by ponds, between which grow old oaks. There is also a bicycle path in Łobżany's territory.[1]
