Traditions and Old Culture Room in Siewierz

The Traditions and Old Culture Room is a municipal museum in Siewierz, set up in an 18th-century manor house on Kościuszki Street. It has operated since 2005 and shows in a single building collections connected with the history of the small town.

What is in the exhibition

The display includes archaeological exhibits, works of art and handicraft, tools of old trades and historical keepsakes. A separate group is made up of models: one shows Siewierz castle as it was at the end of the 18th century, the other the no longer existing town hall from the 16th century. The ruins of the castle itself can be seen nearby: this is the Bishops' Castle in Siewierz.

A manor house on the Bishops' Road

The building stands on the historic Bishops' Road (Trakt Biskupi), which linked Siewierz with Kraków. Since July 2011 the room has also housed a tourist information point, so you can ask here about further routes around the area, for example about the brine graduation tower.

Practical information

• Address: Kościuszki Street 5, Siewierz.
• The museum operates seasonally, on working days, and entry is ticketed. Check the exact hours and rules of visiting with the tourist information office in Siewierz before a visit.
• A visit usually takes only a short while, so it is a good idea to combine it with a visit to the castle.
