Kashubian Cottage

The Kashubian cottage with a Prussian wall is a classic house characteristic of the Kashubian region in Poland. Its architecture stands out with a picturesque style that harmoniously combines Kashubian elements with the characteristic features of Prussian buildings. Noticeable asymmetry, especially in the case of buildings with a double-sided porch, and the practical arrangement of windows and doors, particularly in older constructions, constitute a distinctive characteristic of Kashubian cottages. There is also a clear emphasis on placing windows near corners (both in the gable wall and along the longitudinal wall), aiming for optimal lighting of the spacious chamber's corner. It is worth emphasizing the use of both double-winged and single-winged windows, adding an additional element of diversity and character to these traditional homes.
