A wooden cottage dating from 1915, an archaeological settlement site, and traces of earlier village use offer different perspectives on Czysta Dębina. When choosing your destination, the change in scale is interesting: alongside a specific building are communal uses and the history of an estate to which several villages belonged. The history of the place is therefore about more than buildings; it also concerns earlier ways of living together and using the landscape.

Building History and Settlement Traces

The wooden cottage at Czysta Dębina 63 dates from 1915, is built in the folk style, and is listed in the monument inventory. An archaeological settlement site in Czysta Dębina is designated “osada, st. 10” and is also listed in the monument inventory. This places a single, clearly dated building alongside a settlement site as two distinct historical subjects. If you are interested in local history, you can distinguish these traces by building and settlement.

Village Life in the Past

Communal uses are also part of the place’s history. In 2008, the Volunteer Fire Brigade in Czysta Dębina celebrated its 80th anniversary. The fire station and the surrounding grounds were used for village gatherings, firefighting competitions, and village theatre. Historically, a plot of land in Czysta Dębina served the village community as a place for recreation, meetings, dances, and football games for young people. These examples place organised events at the fire station alongside leisure activities on a different plot of land. Historically, Czysta Dębina was considered a private village and belonged to the Gorzków parish; this adds an ecclesiastical and geographical dimension to the forms of use. The two dates mark different points of reference: 1915 is the year the cottage was built, while 2008 marks the fire brigade’s anniversary.

Estate History and Landscape

The historic Czysta Dębina estate included a grange as well as the villages of Czysta Dębina, Baranica, and Antonówka. The grange was a distinct part of the estate structure; the villages mentioned illustrate its broader historical context. The estate also included a distillery, a brewery, and a mill. Deposits of limestone and peat were also associated with the historic estate. The Żółkiewka stream ran through the estate, adding a landscape aspect to the information about its facilities and natural resources.
