Skansen

On the edge of Las Wolski, next to Panienski Rocks, thanks to the initiative of the eminent ethnographer Seweryn Udziela, an open-air museum of folk architecture was established in 1927. The most valuable object transferred here was a small wooden church with a tower, built in the 17th century, and according to some sources in the 15th century. Its characteristic tower with an overhanging chamber was built before 1644. It was transported in 1949 from Komorowice near Bielsko. Unfortunately, it burned down completely in 1978, but it was reconstructed by highlander carpenters. Its underground part is decorated with sculptures by Bronisław Chromy. In 1952 an old inn from Pasieka near Czernichów Żywiecki was moved to the open-air museum – now it houses a presbytery. The third object of the open-air museum is the manor house from Trzyciąż near Wolbrom.
