It is a multi-building croft, typical for a middle-class hamlet farm. The homestead includes a cottage with no chimney, a barn from Obidza, a sheepfold from Zagorzyn, and a granary from Kicznia. Nearby is a meadow with a sheep barn and a hut (‘koliba’) for shepherds. The cottage was built in 1890. The centrally positioned entry hall is wide, with double doors opening both ways to allow entry to a wagon with hay, which was stored in the attic, or potatoes, which were stored in the cellar. To the left is the residential room, to the right – the kitchen with no smoke exit, the so-called ‘bakery’, and a stable for cows behind it. This was the first cottage without a chimney in the village with a separate ‘cow stable’. In the Goral villages of the Radziejowa range, cows were kept in the ‘bakery’, as was the case in Lendian cottages. The interior of the cottage shows its state after 1935. The room was originally intended for celebrations and was also used as a bedroom and later as a kitchen. On the walls are religious oleographs, devotional pictures, First Communion souvenirs, crosses, rosaries, and a 1914 photograph from Prague, the owner’s souvenir from the Austrian army. The bakery has a completely different character: the floor is earthen, the walls and the ceiling are blackened, and in the corner is a large stove with a cauldron hanging over the ‘nalepa’ and no smoke exit vent. Surrounding the room, under the ceiling are poles for drying wood, flax, sheep cheese and ‘dzwona’, and pieces of wooden wheels. In the kitchen corner are everyday utensils and equipment related to the processing of sheep’s milk into cheese. In the corner is the so-called ‘wyrek’, a simple bed for servant girls or adolescent daughters; it has no headrests and is covered with straw, a sheet, and a blanket. The barn from Obidza, built around the mid-19th century, was adapted to a steep slope. It consists of three rooms, each located on a lower level. The other outbuildings are a granary from Kicznia and a sheepfold from Zagorzyn.
