Tips

🅆🄸🅃⭕ 🇵🇱

July 25, 2022

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, farmers from Żary built several dozen barns (east of the dense urban development), where they stored their crops and agricultural equipment.
The buildings were wooden and thatched. They were all consumed by a fire in 1938.
In their place were built structures made of limestone and brick, covered with a gable roof with tiles.
Until recently, you could see 40 barns in Żarki, currently there are 32.
In their immediate vicinity, there is the largest marketplace in the entire region - on an area of approximately 1.5 hectares, up to 500 traders display their goods every Saturday.
Żarki is worth visiting during an interesting cyclical event - "Merchant's Neighbor". In one of the barns in Żary, you can listen to a folk band, try tartarczuch bread or other delicacies, buy regional products and souvenirs.
Kupiecki Sąsiek takes place on Saturdays every long weekend (May, June, August and on the Saturday preceding Palm Sunday).

The barns were built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, one of the largest marketplaces in the region is located at the barns.

Why were these barns built all in one place? Because the streets of Zarek are too narrow and there was no room for the hosts!
