Erected towards the end of the 19th century, the building initially belonged to the manor and was the workplace of a blacksmith working for the manor and for the village. An average Pogórze smithy from the inter-war period was reconstructed in the museum. The smithy was owned by a professional blacksmith who provided services to the community. Inside, tools and equipment, some of which are from the late 19th century while most are from the interwar years and had belonged to the owner of this very smithy. The blacksmith used to do some of his work under the canopy roof in front of the building, where he would shoe horses using hoof supports. For the duration of the shoeing, horses were tethered to an iron ring attached to a wall. In front of his smithy, the blacksmith would peen scythes and sharpen tools. The smithy was in operation until 1960s.
