Władysław Orkan Biographical Muzeum in Poręba Wielka

The Władysław Orkan Biographical Museum occupies a wooden building constructed in the Witkiewicz style, featuring traditional architectural elements of the Gorce region.

The residence, completed in 1906, served as the home of Polish writer Władysław Orkan until his death, after which his second wife's family maintained the property.

The museum contains original manuscripts, personal belongings, and a collection of regional artifacts that showcase the literary heritage of early 20th century Poland.

Visitors can reach the museum via the green hiking trail from Niedźwiedź to Turbacz, with guided tours available to explore the preserved interior spaces.

Ten maple trees line the entrance path to the museum, leading to a wooden sculpture of the seated writer positioned at the building's entrance.
