Cemeteries and monuments
a disused Jewish cemetery from around 1891 on the slope of Sybirka hill
Milówka architecture means a wooden cottage from 1739, the arched S1 expressway viaduct and a disused Jewish cemetery from the late 19th century.
Milówka lies in the Żywiec region, and its structures come from very different times. Several centuries separate vernacular building of the 18th century from modern engineering, which makes a short tour surprisingly varied.
The “Stara Chałupa” Museum fills a timber house built in 1739 at Piastowska 1. It figures in the monuments register and on the regional route of wooden buildings. A village inn may have been its first role, and visitors now see a living room and workshops.
The viaduct in Milówka takes the S1 expressway across the valley of the Kameszniczanka. It is 654 metres long with 12 spans, three of them arched with a span of 103.8 m. Built in 2004-2006, it won the “Road and Bridge Construction of the Year” award.
The Jewish cemetery was founded around 1891 on the slope of Sybirka hill, above the western bank of the Soła. It is disused. The oldest surviving gravestone, from 1892, has inscriptions in Hebrew, Yiddish, German and Polish.
Monuments in other places can be compared in the category architecture in Silesia, and the rest of the village is under Milówka.
654 metres. Its three arches each span 103.8 metres.
