Museum of the Kielce Countryside

The Museum of the Kielce Countryside is an open-air museum in Tokarnia with traditional buildings from the Świętokrzyskie region scattered across a forested setting. The structures include homes, farm buildings, windmills, and manor houses that represent rural heritage.

The museum was established in 1977 to preserve the architectural traditions and cultural heritage of rural communities in the region. Since then it has grown as a center for protecting and documenting these historical structures.

The buildings show how rural communities in this region lived and worked, with details that reflect their daily habits and traditions. You can see how homes and workspaces were arranged differently than today.

The site is easy to access and offers paths through the buildings and wooded areas that you can visit throughout the year. It is best to wear comfortable shoes since the grounds are large and you will be walking to explore.

The grounds also preserve the protected Czernikiewicz farm in Bodzentyn, an example of a preserved estate with special significance. This farm shows a particularly well-documented example of rural life from earlier generations.
