Skansen Kurpiowski

Skansen Kurpiowski is an open-air museum in Nowogród that spreads across a large site with around two dozen restored wooden buildings from different periods. Visitors can walk through the interiors of these historical structures and explore traditional rooms filled with original furnishings.

The museum was founded in 1927 and stands as one of the earliest collections of traditional folk architecture in Poland. Since then, buildings from across the Kurpie region have been continuously gathered and preserved here.

The museum displays how people from the Kurpie region traditionally lived through their wooden homes and everyday objects, offering insight into a distinctive local way of life.

The site sits on an elevated position above the Narew River, offering various paths to explore the buildings and surroundings. An onsite restaurant serves regional food and drinks for visitors who want to take a break.

The museum preserves rare beekeeping equipment that shows how important this craft was to the region. These historical techniques help visitors understand the agricultural practices that sustained the local community.
