The open-air museum of the Vistula settlement in Wiączemin Polski
The open-air museum of the Vistula settlement in Wiączemin Polski is one of two open-air museums in Poland devoted to the Olender settlement on the Vistula and the only institution of this type in Mazovia. Within the open-air museum there are two Olender farms, church, school, cemetery and the so-called Polish house. The last of these buildings is of utilitarian character, but its form, with a characteristic pedicle roof, shows the style in which Poles built before dissemination of Olender house type Langhoff in these areas. In addition to the buildings in the open-air museum, you can directly learn about the elements of the cultural landscape of the Vistula floodplain of Mazovia. We find here woven wicker fences, which were designed to slow down the outflow of water and thus protect against rinsing the soil: terpy, i.e. artificial hills on which buildings were located, protecting them from floods: a pond – with, among others, retention function and arose as a result of obtaining land for terpy or floodbanks.
