A wonderful place. Here you can admire ancient buildings from Kashubia, Kociewie, and the Tuchola Forest. There are wooden cottages, windmills, an inn, churches, and entire old farmsteads. Travel back in time to see what people did when there was no internet!

A truly interesting place, such living, fascinating history. You can peek into each building and see what it was like.

The Museum – Teodora and Izydor Gulgowski Kashubian Ethnographic Park in Wdzydze Kiszewskie is located on the picturesque shores of Lake Gołuń. There are over 50 buildings characteristic of the rural landscape of Kashubia, Kociewie and Tuchola Forest from the 17th to the 20th century. Visitors can admire the wealth of old wooden architecture of Pomerania with its equipment: cottages, manors, a school, windmills, churches, inns, farm buildings and craft workshops. The farmsteads present: methods of grinding snuff and grinding grain, washing, mangling, tailoring, weaving, the work of a blacksmith, wheelwright and forest worker. The museum offers various workshops and shows, both for individual visitors and for groups.
For the youngest visitors, an interactive exhibition has been prepared “Museum for fun?” - where children can experience the past and plan a museum of the future. This is an exhibition where you are allowed to touch the exhibits: check what it is like to sleep under a duvet, look inside a cast iron waffle iron and rummage through a kitchen cupboard. It tells about various museums that exist in the world; explains why we need museum collections in the first place; shows what kind of exhibits can be collected, for example, in open-air museums. It asks children and adults the question: "What matters to people?" In this way, the exhibition makes visitors aware that research never ends, and that history and tradition are constantly being created.

The beginnings of the Museum in Wdzydze Kiszewskie date back to 1906. Its creators, Teodora and Izydor Gulgowscy, were the founders of what was then the first open-air museum in Poland. They set it up in an 18th-century peasant cottage, which they bought from a local farmer - Michał Hinc. There they gathered typical household and farm equipment for that time, as well as a valuable collection of gold-embroidered bonnets, paintings on glass and ceramics.
The scientific activity and social passions of the Founders of the Museum also led to the development of local handicrafts and discovered the beauty of Kashubian folk art, which lies in intricate root braids and multi-coloured Wdzydze embroidery.
Currently, the Museum, over 100 years old, is a 22-hectare area located on the shores of Lake Gołuń, built up with regional architectural objects. Cottages, manors, a school, a forge, taverns, windmills, churches, farm buildings and craft workshops – over 50 objects from Kashubia, Kociewie and the Tuchola Forest testify to the diversity of rural architecture from the 17th to the 20th century. Faithfully recreated interiors with authentic furnishings, temporarily activated farm and industrial devices give this place an extraordinary atmosphere, intensified by the picturesque location and the values of the surrounding nature.
