The manorial granary in Rogów on the Vistula river was built in 1719. It was funded by Eliasz Wodzicki. Later, probably before 1850, it was dismantled and transferred to Złota.
This large utility building was built from larch, pine and oak wood; it is a corner-notched log structure, on a square plan (26.25 x 9.75 m). Over the main entrance one can read the original foundation inscription with the letters ”MM” – the constructor’s initials.
Thee granary is a two-storey structure, without a basement, but with a large attic serving as a storage room. On the first and the second floor there were two storerooms separated by a central hallway. A fine “Krakow-style” roof, shingle-covered, as well as profiled ends of load-bearing beams in the ceiling (rysie) are noteworthy elements of the granary’s architecture. The bevelled corners of lisice beams and posts supporting load-bearing beams inside the building also have a decorative function.
In view of its age and construction it is ranked among Poland’s most precious manorial utility buildings from the Baroque era.
On the upper floor of the granary from Złota there is an exhibition devoted to the traditional craft of smithing and folk costumes from the Kielce region. The granary storerooms on the ground floor serve as a venue for exhibitions, educational activities, science workshops and events, including the tasting of regional dishes.
