Kashubian Ethnographic Park
Pomorskie
The Kashubian Ethnographic Park, located in Wdzydze Kiszewskie in northern Poland, is the oldest open-air museum in the country, founded in 1906 by Teodora and Izydor Gulgowski. Spanning 22 hectares on the banks of Lake Gołuń, it features 49 original objects including cottages, manors, churches, windmills, farm buildings, and craftsmen's workshops, all illustrating the traditional culture of the Kashubians. The museum is divided into five sectors representing different regions of Kashubia, Borów Tucholskich, and Kociewie, presenting fully arranged homesteads and interiors that reflect rural life from the 17th to 19th centuries. Visitors can explore various architectural styles such as log houses, half-timbered, and Prussian wall constructions with thatched or shingle roofs. The park also hosts folkloric events, craft demonstrations, and concerts, providing an immersive cultural experience. It is a unique place preserving and celebrating the heritage of the Kashubian people and their traditional way of life.

歴史
The museum originated from a private collection started in 1906 when Izydor Gulgowski and his wife Teodora acquired an 18th-century cottage, gathering Kashubian folk artifacts.
After a fire destroyed the original cottage in 1932, it was rebuilt and reopened in 1934.
The collection was handed over to the Polish state in 1948.
In 1969, the museum expanded and became the Kashubian Ethnographic Park, growing to 22 hectares by 1980 with sectors representing different Kashubian regions.
In 2000, it was officially named the Museum – Kashubian Ethnographic Park named after Teodora and Izydor Gulgowski.
