The granary, which used to store grain, has survived to the present day in almost its original form. Today, it is one of the outbuildings of the former manor belonging to the Dunajec Castle. The granary is a gem of wooden architecture located on the Wooden Architecture Route in Małopolska.

It is the only building of this kind in the Podtatrze region, standing in its original location in the Pieniny Spiskie Mountains on the built-up part of Tabor Hill, belonging to the Castle Complex in Niedzica. The granary stands on the opposite side of the road above the castle, about 150 metres away.

The two-storey building from the end of the 18th century was built on the grounds of the castle farm in a timber-framed construction of solid wooden logs called ‘okrąglak’, joined using ‘saddle-notch corners’.It was built on an almost square plan with a brick cellar and a shingle roof. It was then slightly transformed in the 19th century.

Since 1998, two halls in its adapted interior have housed an ethnographic exhibition on the art and folk culture of the Spis region, with original objects from Niedzic cottages dating from the 19th century and the 1920s–1930s. Also on display are objects moved from the upper castle, collected by the custodians of the Dunajec Castle in Niedzica. In the reconstructed white room from a traditional Spis cottage, you can see antique furniture, a bed, a cradle, a table or a sideboard. There are also folk highland costumes, mainly female, agricultural tools, antique clocks from the Slovak town of Kežmarok and works of folk art. A staircase in the corner of the chamber leads to a second floor not open to the public, and two cellar rooms are also inaccessible.

In front of the granary, rafting boats from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the so-called ‘chisel boats, and an old roadside cross, and wooden chapels have been collected.
