It is the youngest structure in the museum (1924) and used to belong to the local carpenter. It is an example of changes taking place in the 1930s that were visible in the exterior whereas the interior arrangement remained typical for older houses. The cottage is built of planed logs trimmed in line with the walls at the corners, with hay in the gaps between the logs.. The steep-pitched roof is shingled. The appearance of this cottage differs from other buildings in the museum as most of them are log buildings with the ends protruding at the corners and have thatched hip roofs. The chamber to the left of the hallways is both the living space and workshop of a woodwork craftsman. Numerous tools used by carpenters, coopers and wheelwrights are displayed there. The most important piece of equipment in this room is an oak carpenter’s workbench of 1900. The second chamber houses the permanent exhibition titled ‘Herbs in the Pogórze tradition’ presenting herbs used in traditional folk medicine and accessories for their processing and storage.
