Description:
In the nearby Olsztynek, the skansen of rural architecture is worth paying a visit. On 39 hectares fisherman’s huts, farmhouses and windmills are displayed.
Skansen – open-air ethnographic museum: Olsztynek (see it on the map).
One of Poland’s biggest skansens was arranged in Olsztynek in 1938. It was started with copies of farm timber houses brought from Köningsberg.
Today the scenic open-air ethnographic park features several dozen original and reconstructed houses from Warmia, Masuria and even Lithuania. Visitors can admire half-timbered houses, granaries, wind-mills, farm outbuildings, a country-inn, and a church. All fully equipped and with animals which makes the whole experience very realistic.
