Habsburg Economic Settlement

Habsburg Economic Settlement

The exhibition leads visitors through several thematic sections.
Here you will find the History of the Duchy of Cieszyn, a room devoted to Geology, a section on "Cuisine and Herbology", "Dialect and Legends", as well as a place dedicated to the Sources of the Vistula River.
The exhibition of the Beskid Forests, the history of the Vistula economy, a highland workshop, and rooms devoted to the tourist development of the Vistula as a summer resort are also elements of the Habsburg Economic Village.

The settlement consists of two buildings. The first (entrance) is an authentic mastal (stable for horses and cows), built in the second half of the 19th century in Wątrobne - a hamlet (housing estate) located on the slopes of Barania Góra above the Biała Wisełka valley.

 

The second building is a replica of the so-called Servants from Zadni Groń on Czarna Wisełka, where in 1906 a larch hunting lodge was built for the Archduke couple Isabella and Frederick Habsburg. They were both passionate hunters, and in Wisła they mainly hunted capercaillies.
Since the aristocratic guests accompanying the Archduke couple could not fit into the existing forester's lodges or the palace on Przysłop, it was decided to build a new castle. Two annexes were built next to it: one for servants and one for the household.
The castle burned down on the night of December 23-24, 1927, during renovation works that were supposed to prepare it for the President of the Republic of Poland, Ignacy Mościcki. A new brick castle was built for the head of state, and in place of the burned one, the so-called lower castle was built for officers and a fleet of cars. The annex, however, survived and was used as housing for workers and later for the castle's support staff.

The service building was demolished during the renovation of the castle in the early 21st century, but unfortunately it could not be rebuilt for several years. The surviving fragments were used during the construction of the replica in 2023 and can be seen inside.


The implementation took place as part of the project "Cieszyn Silesia - a common history of wood, iron and people" implemented together with Trzyniec.
