Things to see and do Chęciny

The skansen of Tokarnia is one of the largest and most beautiful museums of outdoor in Poland. It traces the life in the region displaying the various habitats and country village, architecture and peerage-books of Kielce. In an area of 80 acres stand 30 wooden buildings, all dating from the 18th- 19th centuries and from different villages of the region. Each building has with countless details the trades and the richness of the interior architecture. At the entrance of skansen, the pharmacy displays pots porcelain, brass instruments, a microscope and test-tubes, in the 19th century it was in use in the village of Bieliny. A little further from the house Jan Bernasiewicz traces the work of this naive artist with photos and superb wooden statues, typical of the Polish naive art, religious or pagan. The manoir de Suchedniów strongly contrasts with the country's architecture that dominates the skansen. Built by a noble room in 1812, it is heated by beautiful tiled stove.
