Osiek Open-Air Museum
Local name: Skansen w Osieku
The museum, on an area of 13 hectares, presents folk culture from Krajna, Pałuki and Notecka Forest. It collects museum exhibits and rural buildings. Currently there are 28 large architectural objects. Arcaded cottages from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries moved to the heritage park from Dźwierszno Wielki and Głubczyn are considered to be the most valuable.
Wooden rural construction, located in the Osiecka branch, creates an oval village. In addition to cottages and outbuildings, you can see here, among others windmills, forge, fire station, sawmill, church. Small architecture is represented by roadside chapels, an apiary, wells and bread ovens. Some facilities house permanent exhibitions presenting interiors from the 19th century to the 1960s.
The creation of the museum in Osiek was decided by accident. While selecting sand for construction purposes, a box grave with several ashtrays was found. After completion of archaeological research, three pavilions were built, in which unusual finds were exhibited. Later, vanishing examples of small and large rural architecture began to be moved here.
