The cottage dates from the mid-19th century. It is built of fir logs. The gaps between the beams are clayed and whitewashed with lime. The roof is steep, gabled, and covered with shingles. The cottage consists of a tiny entry hall with a separate larder and a room with no outlet for smoke. In this same condition it was used until the 1990s.A 1960s residence belonging to Adam Chowaniec has been recreated in the open-air museum. In all the rooms the floor is earthen . The room has a stove with no outlet for the smoke, a ‘nalepa’, a baker’s oven, and a bench built into the side, under which a chicken pen has been set up. The upper part of the walls and the ceiling are blackened by smoke. A kind of potato cellar, an earthen pit covered by a flap made of boards, is in the corner of the kitchen. The interior furnishings are very modest. Against the wall opposite the entrance is a wooden bed pushed against a shelf with crockery placed on a bench. Above this are two simple plank shelves. A chest and table stand next to the bed. A wide bench is set permanently against the wall; there is a quern by the door and a clothes rack further in. On the wall opposite the entrance hang three religious paintings, a rosary, and a gorget. The entry hall and larder contain small farm tools and an array of farm equipment.
