The complex of folk wooden architecture

 Chochołów Local government: Czarny Dunajec |
| The complex of folk wooden architecture, characteristic of Skalne Podhale, ensures the priceless historical value of Chochołów. The houses stand with their gable-ends on to the road, creating a traditional village layout, known as ulicówka (a one-road village with compact building on both sides of the road). The buildings are rectangular and covered with shingled, half-gable roofs. The walls are log-construction and boarded annually each spring so that they retain a bright wood colour. A curiosity is building no. 24, known as the “hut from One Fir”. It belongs to Anna Styrcula”,” and its logged walls were erected towards the end of the C19th”,” using the trunk of a single fir tree cut down on the nearby Ostrysz hill. |
