Granary - branch of the Jan Dekert Lubuskie Museum in Gorzów Wielkopolski

The historic white Granary, dating from 1723, is a three-story half-timbered building with a masonry basement, built on a rectangular plan measuring 14 x 57 meters. In its 300-year history, the Granary served as a grain warehouse for most of the time. After World War II in 1945, the facility was taken over by the Polish administration, and the building was used for various purposes unrelated to its original purpose. Gradually, over the years, its condition deteriorated considerably. On October 22, 1976, the building was entered in the register of monuments and transferred to the administration of the Gorzow District Museum. In 1979, the first conservation work was undertaken prior to a major overhaul of the historic building. Conservation work, included two thorough renovations, which were carried out between 1979 and 1988. The opening of the Granary as a monument, where exhibitions in the field of history and art were presented, took place solemnly on January 30, 1989. Currently, both permanent and temporary exhibitions are presented inside the Granary, and the displays range from historical to painting exhibitions. On May 20, 2023, 300 years of the Granary was solemnly celebrated during Museum Night.
