Museum of Papermaking in Duszniki-Zdrój

The Museum of Papermaking occupies a 16th-century mill building with traditional architecture along the Bystrzyca Dusznicka river. The structure retains features from its time as a working production facility.

The mill was founded in 1562 and produced paper for centuries before being converted to a museum in 1968. This transition allowed the centuries-old production methods and machinery to become accessible to the public.

The mill embodies a craft tradition that shaped the region for hundreds of years and remains visible in how the work is done today. Visitors watch artisans at work and understand how this skill became woven into local identity.

The museum demonstrates traditional techniques with hands-on displays and active demonstrations where artisans work in front of visitors. Many guests can also make their own handmade paper using historical tools and methods.

The museum continues to produce handmade paper using original machinery from the 16th century that still operates in its halls. These sheets are made not only for museum sales but also on commission for special projects.
