Upper Silesian Ethnographic Park, Open-air museum in Chorzów, Poland.
The Upper Silesian Ethnographic Park spans 22 hectares, featuring over 70 traditional wooden structures including farmhouses, churches, and workshops from the region.
The park's development started in 1952 with initial buildings relocated from Kościuszko Park in Katowice, including a wooden church from Syrynia dated 1510.
The museum collection represents five distinct subregions of Upper Silesia through architectural elements, household items, and traditional farming equipment.
Different seasonal schedules apply, with extended summer hours from May to August, while winter months operate on reduced hours from November to April.
The last remaining windmill in Silesia, transported from Grzawa, stands among the preserved structures within the museum grounds.
