Skansen in Białowieża

The wooden architecture museum spans 1.5 hectares and contains nine traditional buildings, including houses, a windmill, and agricultural structures from the Podlasie region.

The museum's first structure, a wooden post mill from 1925, arrived from Kotły village in 1978, marking the beginning of this preservation project.

The wooden chapel dedicated to St. Alexander Nevsky stands among commemorative crosses that mark the baptism of Kievan Rus, reflecting regional religious traditions.

Visitors can explore the museum grounds throughout the day, with guided tours available on weekends from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM led by Mr. Włodzimierz Muśko.

The museum houses Poland's last functioning wooden chimney, located in a cabin from 1836 that maintains its original thatched roof and traditional room layout.
