Galician Town

Located in Nowy Sącz, the Galician Town is a branch of the Sądecki Ethnographic Park. It was reconstructed in order to show the buildings typical of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy province, which the Małopolska region was part at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

The buildings included in the Galician Town in Nowy Sącz are a realistic representation of the buildings that were built in Małopolska at the end of the 19th century. Each of them has a plate from which one can learn about a prototype or an inspiration used to create a given building.

The central part of the Galician Town is a small market surrounded by buildings typical of Galicia (such as the town hall) or service points. A city well is placed in the middle of the square.

The interiors of buildings in the Galician Town also remind about the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. They house various types of shops, firms and workshops, including a woodcarver's workshop, a pharmacy, a printing-house, a fire station, a post office or a pastry shop.
