Museum of the History of Tylicz

The Museum of the History of Tylicz and the House of Culture officially reopened in February 2014 after a thorough renovation. The museum was initiated and created by Janusz Kieblesz, a history enthusiast and member of the Association for the Development of Tylicz. Exhibits from the private collections of the village's inhabitants have been added to it.

The Museum houses valuable documents and interesting exhibits: objects of everyday life used by past generations and items showing what Tylicz looked like years ago.

You can see, among other things, the books of the town of Tylicz, documents from the National Archives in Krakow presenting the 650-year history of Tylicz, uniforms of the Bar Confederates, instruments, costumes, as well as items related to old crafts, such as a watchmaker's bench, a saddler's bench, the workshop of a Tylicz shingle maker and a wooden bagpipe. There is also a sports corner and a sacral corner.

Church in Tylicz

The former wooden Greek Catholic parish church has been a Roman Catholic cemetery church of the parish of Saints Peter and Paul in Tylicz since 1947.

The tripartite church in the Western Lemko style was built in 1743-1744. Rebuilt in 1780 and restored after a fire in 1930. It is characterized by a log construction, walls covered with boards and reinforced with clamps.


It has three towers with bulbous domes. Above the vestibule there is a tower with sloping walls of half-timbered construction with double wooden domes with a lantern and a forged cross. Smaller domes are visible above the nave, covered with a broken roof, and the chancel, covered with a hipped roof.

Adjoining the nave, by the iconostasis, are two rooms for singers, the so-called kryłos, characteristic of eastern sacral architecture, found only in areas inhabited by the Lemkos, which serve as side chapels. The interior is decorated with figural and ornamental paintings from 1938, referring to the celebration of the 950th anniversary of the adoption of Christianity in Rus'. The temple is located on the Trail of Lemko Orthodox Churches in Beskid Sądecki and on the Wooden Architecture Trail in Lesser Poland.

Church in Muszyna

The branch church of St. John the Evangelist in Muszynka (formerly Greek Catholic, now Roman Catholic) was built in the 18th century.

The individual parts of the church are square in shape, and the presbytery is closed on three sides, with the sacristy on the north side.

The ornamental polychrome dates from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. By the iconostasis, from the 18th century, there are two side altars: the southern one, late Baroque, from the end of the 17th century, with an image of the Virgin Mary with the Child, and the northern one, rococo, from the 18th century, with figures of St. Peter and St. Paul and an image of St. Barbara (according to tradition, founded by the Bar Confederates).
