Museum of Wooden Architecture of the Siedlce Region

The Museum of Wooden Architecture of the Siedlce Region is an open-air museum with traditional buildings relocated from various villages, showing regional construction methods and local design. The structures span different periods and show how people in this part of Eastern Poland built and lived.

The museum was created to preserve wooden buildings from the Siedlce region before they disappeared, as communities replaced them with modern structures. This effort documents centuries of building traditions in rural Eastern Poland.

The buildings show how people lived in villages and used their spaces, from homes to small chapels that served as community centers. You can see how the architecture reflects daily rhythms and social connections.

The paths between buildings wind across open grounds, which can become muddy after rain, so sturdy shoes are a good idea. Information panels next to each building explain its history and original role in the community.

Many buildings display handcrafted wooden joints developed specifically for this region, fitting together without nails or screws. These techniques allowed carpenters to create stable structures that lasted for generations.
