“Zagroda Jamneńska” (The Jamno Homestead) is a branch office of the Koszalin Museum presenting the unique history, culture and customs of the village of Jamno. Due to its location on wetlands, for centuries Jamno was completely cut off from the rest of the world for months every year – paved road to Koszalin was not built until around 1900. The inhabitants had to be completely self-sufficient. In their enclave, they developed a unique folk culture and art, combining elements from Slavic, Germanic and probably also Dutch cultures which can be seen in the local architecture, handicrafts and customs (such as the traditional Jamno weddings). One of the most characteristic features of the Jamno culture is the multi-coloured tulip motif. Located in the heart of Jamno, the homestead allows you to see what everyday life in the village looked like in the past. The homestead is a reconstructed cottage built using traditional methods according to the preserved designs, accurately recreating the 19th-century architecture of Jamno. “Zagroda Jamneńska” is not another boring museum exhibition but a bustling cultural centre, allowing guests to get to know the unique Jamno culture through handicraft workshops or thematic events, such as the regularly held “Jamno Fair”.
