Mańkowice is a village located in the Nysa district, in the Łambinowice municipality. The town is located on the edge of the Nysa Kłodzka valley. The hamlet of Bardno belongs to the village, located about 1,000 meters from Mańkowice, as well as the so-called Bonanza – a small colony located about 500 meters from the village. Historical sources state that until the end of the 18th century, Mańkowice was a knightly settlement, and later the village acquired a typically agricultural character. Its prime dates back to the second half of the 19th century, when a mill, a forge, and a school operated in the village. Apart from agriculture, the residents were engaged in roofing, carpentry, and blacksmithing, as well as weaving wicker baskets. In 1889, Mańkowice found itself on the railway route connecting Opole with Nysa. A railway station was built at that time, which provided access to neighboring municipalities and voivodeships. The Baroque church of St. Matthew, built in the 18th century, which stood on the site of an older temple from the 13th century, has a historic character in the village.
