Cottage from Nasiechowice
EN / PL
The cottage from Nasiechowice was built in 1895. Its first owner was the peasant Wojciech Jakuba. The post-and-plank house was built from hewn beams and halved logs. The wide-front, two-bay building has a hipped roof covered by a smooth layer of straw. The cottage interior consists of a hallway, two living rooms, a kitchen and a storeroom. A separate entrance in the back wall leads to the utility room. On the yard side a small granary was built adjacent to the cottage. Originally, all rooms had clay flooring (”pug”).
The building shows many interesting features of old village houses, such as the walls made of vertical posts (łątki), dug directly into the ground, not set on an underpinning and the windows are set in jambs i.e. vertical wooden posts on which the window frame is fitted. The wooden door is fixed on wooden hinges, a stove with a recess furnace and another stove for baking bread, as well as a chimney with a niche for sweeping out soot have survived in the cottage. The interior of the cottage in Nasiechowice re-creates a village potter’s workshop from the inter-war period.
