Ciechanowiec Open-Air Museum

The open air museum in Ciechanowiec is located in the area of ​​the palace park, which in the middle of the 19th century belonged to the Starch family. By visiting this picturesque place we can see the conditions in which the poor peasants lived or the richer noblemen of the past lived, see the still functioning mill circle, and many other equally interesting objects of wooden architecture.

Around the park, over 40 buildings from the Podlasie and Mazovia border areas were located. Barns, cowsheds, granaries, quarters, hunting manor and traditional huts. Between them were placed small architectural objects such as apiary, well with crane, wooden chapel. An extremely interesting monument is an old mill, which as one of the few in Poland, is still active. In addition to wooden architecture buildings you can see here a beautiful brick palace hr. Starzeńskich from the second half of the 19th century.

There are 24 expositions in open-air museums. Some of them present chat rooms inhabited by people of the time. Each exhibition presents another type of cottage. Apart from the accessories and furniture presented in the residential buildings, other attractions await visitors: the previously used smokehouse of more than 100 years, Krzysztof Kluka, or bread exhibition, which is housed in an old mill.
