About Willa Koliba
Willa Koliba showcases the Zakopane style in a wooden house associated with the work of Stanisław Witkiewicz. The building allows recognition of roofs, joints and decoration that transformed references of regional architecture into a distinctive residential language.
The interior functions as a museum, with rooms and objects that help understand the house's design. The visit reveals a cultural side of the Tatras different from the hikes, bringing the visitor closer to the relationship between landscape, craft and wooden construction.
Observe the exterior before entering to identify how the roof forms articulate with the residence's volume. Confirm the exhibition and access conditions at the museum. The visit can occupy part of a day with unstable weather, without depending on mountain visibility to make sense.
