Manieczki was first mentioned in 1368. It was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Kościan County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. Manieczki was divided into Manieczki, Gabrianowski, Chaławski, Przylepski, that is, to the local nobility. On 21 June 1781 the property was sold to Józef Wybicki. Many of his literary works were written in Manieczki, and he died in 1822 in a wooden manor, which no longer exists. • Illustration — Manor house in 1912 In 1857 Antoni Białecki discovered an old pagan cemetery in Manieczki, from which 180 items were granted to the Poznań Society of Friends of Learning.
