The cottage dates back to the second half of the 19th century. It was built by the heir for the landless caretaker of the manor. Its appearance and furnishings are typical for the poorest inhabitants of a Podgórze village in the late 19th and early 20th century. It is a whitewashed log cottage with a hipped roof covered with straw. On one end is an open shed with a woven brushwood back wall. The interior consists of a living room and a small entrance hall with a room for a cow. An interesting feature is the chimney built of wooden poles interwoven with straw twine, with thickly layered clay on the inside and outside, called a ‘mud chimney’. It was very durable because it was fired ‘into brick’ as it was used. The cottage was furnished to resemble a dwelling of a single woman who practised herbalism and healing. In the attic and in the room hang bundles of drying plants used in folk medicine: St. John’s wort for stomach ailments, verruca for cows after calving and for worms, and lime blossom for cough. In addition, there are bottles holding flaxseed oil for burns, white lilies in alcohol for wounds and heart ailments, tar for treating the hooves and wounds of livestock, and linen tow for skin diseases.
