Built towards the end of the 18th century, it is one of the oldest farm buildings preserved in the Pogórze. Such structures were typical for large and wealthy farmsteads, manor houses and vicarages. This and other farm buildings showcase a historical vicarage farmstead located around the church and the parish house. The two-floor building with two interior chambers on a square plan housed a woodshed on the ground floor, and grain was stored in storage spaces on the upper floor. Resting on a stone foundation, the impressive structure is made of large cross-section half-logs, most of them joined in the corners by dovetail halvings. The front elevation displays more elaborate architecture thanks to an arcade on columns supporting the wooden stairs leading to the upper floor. The high gable roof is covered with shingles. A door portal on the ground floor with corner wooden beams in the form of so-called ‘dogs’ is an interesting original element preserved in its entirety. After the granary was assembled in 2012, it was adapted to serve administrative and educational functions. In 2016, a permanent exhibition titled ‘Józef Śliwa – Poet, Painter, Amateur Sculptor’ was created on the ground floor.
