The cottage from Chrobrze, a village in Ponidzie, was built in 1858. It originally belonged to the Juszczyk family. It was sold to the Kielce Village Museum by Władysław Kubicki.

The small, one-and-a-half passage house has the following interior layout: hallway (with a small chamber) – dwelling room – storeroom. The walls of the house were built using the post-and-beam system. The cottage is covered by a hipped straw roof. The door of the storeroom and the hallway are fitted on a primitive revolving mechanism, with wooden locks on the inside part. All rooms have pug flooring made of clay mixed with chaff and bran.

The interiors re-create the living conditions of a poor, multi-generational rural family in the second half of the nineteenth century.
