TRIP DESCRIPTION
Pszczyna Castle
The castle in Pszczyna is undoubtedly the "gem" of the Silesian Voivodeship. It was built on the place where was 15th-century defensive castle and, throughout history, was rebuilt many times. The castle happily survived the Second World War. It has retained its original appearance and furnishings, which makes it one of the most valuable monuments of residential architecture in Poland.
Bison Farm
Bison Farm was built in a historic park, just a few hundred meters from the Old Town of Pszczyna. You can learn about the habits of the European bison, which is the largest mammal in Europe. There are also other animals living in southern Poland, including moufflons, deer, roe deer.
After World War I, all free-living wisents were killed. In 1923, the International Society for the Protection of the European Bison was established with the aim of recreating the wild population of European bison. For this purpose, 12 carefully selected individuals were used, 4 of which are the Pszczyna bisons.
Open-Air Museum of the Pszczyna Village
The open-air museum was established in the mid-70s of the last century. There are over a dozen objects of wooden architecture, which are the last evidence of the traditional rural architecture of the Pszczyna region. Its uniqueness lies in historic huts, most of which are made of original materials. Inside we could find many authentic agricultural and handicraft equipment as well as tools for everyday use. This is a place which has high cultural, historical and ethnographic value and is one of the unique tourist attractions of the Silesian Voivodeship.
