Pszczyna Village Farmstead

The Pszczyna Village Homestead is an open-air museum located in Pszczyna, which collects monuments of wooden folk architecture from the Pszczyna region. Established in 1975 on the grounds of the Railway Park, the museum covers an area of approximately 2 hectares, and its uniqueness is highlighted by architectural objects, including the oldest manorial granary from Czechowice dating back to 1784 and an octagonal barn from Kryry from the 18th century. After expansion in 2013, the museum was enriched with a replica of a water mill, a service building, and a gazebo by the pond. The exhibition includes over a dozen objects, such as a cottage from Grzawa, a forge from Goczałkowice, and a water mill from Bojszów, which are authentic examples of the region's wooden architecture. The museum is part of the Wooden Architecture Trail of Upper Silesia, emphasizing its historical and touristic significance. Interestingly, the museum's buildings house many original pieces of equipment, agricultural tools, carts, and folk art exhibits. The Pszczyna Village Homestead organizes educational workshops and folk events, where ritual reenactments take place, attracting local groups and tourists, thereby enriching the cultural landscape of the region. It is a place full of history, tradition, and attractions for visitors.
