What traces tell the story of Myczków’s past?
The first of the two neighboring churches in Myczków was built in 1899 through a foundation established by Jan Nepomucen Zatorski, the owner of the local estate. The year, the founder, and his connection to the estate give the building’s history a concrete link to Myczków.
Between the churches stands a brick bell tower, built in 1999 to a design by Józef Kruk of Lesko. An old bell from an Orthodox church is also located there. Thus, a church dating from 1899, a later bell tower, and a bell with its own history stand side by side at this site.
One church is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Najświętszego Serca Pana Jezusa). Along with the history of the foundation and the bell, this dedication offers another perspective on the site’s religious heritage.
What educational activities does the Boyko Museum offer?
The Solina municipality lists the Muzeum Kultury Duchowej i Materialnej Bojków w Myczkowie as an attraction. Its educational activities include the opportunity to sample Boyko dishes.
Another activity is pottery-making under the supervision of a potter. The two activities are quite distinct: one focuses on food, the other on craft. Visitors interested in Boyko culture can consider these two approaches separately when planning their trip.
These activities are part of the museum’s educational program. If you would like to plan a tasting or pottery-making session as part of your visit, check the current program in advance.
Which cultural focus suits your trip?
The churches and bell tower draw attention to architectural history, the founder, and religious traditions; the museum’s activities offer insights into food and crafts. This distinction can help you choose a cultural focus for Myczków based on your interests. You can prioritize historic buildings and material artifacts, or focus more on the museum’s educational activities. The two themes complement each other without offering the same experience.
