Białowieża Open-Air Museum of Wooden Architecture
Highlight • Historical Site
The Białowieża Museum – Open-Air Museum of Wooden Architecture of the Ruthenian People of Podlasie consists of nine well-preserved buildings, which can be divided into four groups. The first consists of two huts standing near the gate. They have a slightly different character than the other buildings, because their attics have been converted into rooms for tourists. One of these buildings comes from the village of Klejniki, dates back to 1893, and was moved and reconstructed in 1988. The hall, room and chamber are open to visitors. It is worth seeing the fabrics and clay vessels typical of the region collected in the room. The second building is the oldest hut in the museum – dated back to 1885, moved from the village of Czyżyki. You can see there, above all, an oven for baking bread. The second group includes a charming wooden chapel (temporary chapel) dedicated to St. Alexander Nevsky, modelled on the temple from the village of Nowoberezowo. The place where the chapel stands is largely fenced off by a kind of moat, which makes it look as if it were standing on a small island surrounded by beautiful Białowieża landscapes. Two wooden crosses and a stone are placed next to it.
The third group consists of two windmills (both come from Orla) and farm buildings: a cottage from the village of Biała, a workshop (so-called majsternia) from Widów and a barn from the village of Koszele. The windmills of the post type date back to the interwar years of the 20th century.
The fourth group consists of only one exhibit - and it is a fence made of so-called balas. It was made by the founders of the institution in the years 1983-1984 and is a faithful copy of traditional woven fences. The construction of such a fence consists of three vertical poles and (vertically) interwoven spruce branches.
The landscapes themselves are a separate attraction. They can be admired both in the museum itself - they are truly fairy-tale! – and in its vicinity.

From this observation tower you overlook a marshy area where numerous storks and many other birds can be observed. Less than 500 meters on foot further, you will see some remarkable trees.

Royal Oaks Trail
Highlight • Trail
The Royal Oak Trail is an educational trail located in the Stara Białowieża forest.
The shape of the oaks and the clusters of their arrangement on the trail also indicate human interference. Relatively low, approximately 32-meter-high, the trees are almost 10 meters smaller than the oaks that have always grown in a compact stand. This means that they were planted by human hands, as a park planting near the manor house that once existed here. One legend says that they were planted on the orders of King Sigismund the Old.
A wooden footbridge leads along the trail, equipped with boards with descriptions of the oaks, named after Polish and Lithuanian rulers who ruled the Forest. Walking along the trail gives you the opportunity not only to get to know nature, but also to deepen your historical knowledge. The author and initiator of this project was Jacek Wysmułek, a forester from the Białowieża Forest District, who in 1976 proposed to protect the entire area and create a historical educational trail there.
The footbridge is adapted for wheelchair users and has additional boards written in Braille. A road connecting Białowieża with the town of Narewka runs parallel to the path. You can get to the Siemianówka reservoir from here.
About 1.5 km north of this place (in section 281 - yellow tourist trail) there are remains of the foundation ruins of another hunting castle, probably built by the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Giedymin.
The Royal Oaks Trail is leased to a separate, private company whose task is to maintain the proper technical condition of the path and cleanliness of the premises. The company charges an admission fee.

St. Nicholas Orthodox Church
Highlight • Religious Site
According to local records, as early as the 17th century, there was a small Orthodox church in Białowieża, which was burned down along with the village during the plague of 1710. Records locate the church on Browska Road. The only surviving relic of it is said to be a bell from 1661, located in the cemetery chapel. Unfortunately, there is no confirmation of this information in known written sources. Initially, the Białowieża residents were assigned to the parish church in Shereshevo, which received funds and privileges from Ivan Abramovich as early as 1517. After the construction of the church in Suchopol in 1680 and the establishment of the Suchopol parish, they transferred to it. In 1704, the Białowieża manor received the right to collate and present the Suchopol priests from King Augustus II. Białowieża's affiliation with the Suchopol parish is confirmed by visitations from 1748, 1757, and 1769. In 1757, it had 733 faithful, including 83 from Białowieża. In 1769, the parish had 251 families – 23 from Białowieża (56 people were recorded as having gone to confession). Around 1782, the church in Suchopol burned down. Because the chapel built in its place could not accommodate all the parishioners, construction of a new church began. Construction work lasted seven years. In 1799, Białowieża, with 30 families, was still part of the Suchopol parish, although it had already had its own church for several years. The Białowieżaites may have been assigned to the Suchopol parish as late as 1800, but the 1801 visit does not mention them. The Orthodox church in Białowieża was built in 1793. The church's foundation deed was issued on May 2, 1797, by the Chief Treasurer, Major Jan Szczepanowski.
