The homestead from the Góry Świętokrzyskie, was built by the Pożóg peasant family after merging of the land in the village of Sierżawa (1857). They owned about 30 morgas of arable land.

Originally, the buildings were laid out in a ”U” shape, later they were ”closed” after the barn was built. Open spaces between the buildings were hidden behind a board fence, with a gate leading to the yard. The homestead consists of a cottage (1880), pigsties, cowshed, stable, granary (1860), a barn (1880) and a shed.

The residential building is covered by a hipped straw roof and houses the central hallway and two rooms. The house is set on large field stones. It has wooden walls from halved logs, with “fish-tail” corner joints, and is covered by a hipped thatched roof. The dwelling rooms have wooden board floors, whilst the hallway has a clay pug floor. The stove and the chimney were made using an ancient method – from stones with clay binding. On the siestrzan under the principal beams there is a carved inscription which reads HIS.

The pigsty, the cowshed, the stable, the granary and the barn are notched-corner log structures and are covered by hipped straw roofs. The buildings have plank doors, fitted on wrought belt-strap hinges . The granary has a floor made from wooden boards. Other rooms have clay pug floors.
