The "Harenda Villa" in Zakopane
|
 Zakopane Local government: Zakopane |
| The "Harenda Villa" was built in 1920 by Jan Kluś Fudala and intended as a guest house. In 1923 it was bought by the outstanding poet Jan Kasprowicz. The villa is an example of the so-called second Zakopane style, which developed in the inter war years. Since 1950 it has housed a museum devoted to the life and work of the poet. Exhibits include: manuscripts, photographs, books, furniture, and pastel portraits by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz. Nearby, there is a granite mausoleum, built in the years 1927-1933, which holds the ashes of the poet and his wife. It was designed by Karol Stryjeński on the initiative of Maria Kasprowiczowa. |
