Poland's first open-air museum, founded in 1906, spreads across 22 hectares on the shore of Gołuń lake. Kids walk between more than 50 wooden buildings moved here from Kashubia and Kociewie: cottages, manor houses, a village school, a smithy, windmills and an 18th-century church, many with furnished interiors.

From May to September, staff run hands-on workshops in old crafts such as spinning, weaving, grain milling and basket plaiting.
