The Zakopane Style of Architecture

The Zakopane style draws upon the motifs and traditions in the buildings of the Carpathian Mountains, which was created by Stanislaw Witkiewicz who was born in the Lithuanian village of Pasiause and is now considered to be one of the core traditions of the Goral people. The log house construction combines wooden framing and reinforced stone structures, which is typical of Goral cottages, and traditional folk motifs with elements of Art Nouveau. The main features of the Zakopane Style of log house construction include a radiant sun on the gable, intricate flower carvings, especially on the window and door frames, and the six-petal rosette solar symbol. Details of woodwork, from Wladyslaw Matlakowski's works on the architectural design and decorative art of the Podhale highlanders from 1892 and 1901.

Architectural Influence and Legacy

You'll find elements such as the timber cottage outlays, together with the locking joints and lattice-work, that were transformed into masonry while the popular motifs that were traditionally carved in wood were applied to stone and appeared in non-traditional places. For example, you'll find several such buildings that were constructed in Lviv the capital of Galicia, the administrative region that Podhale and Zakopane both were a part of. At least two Zakopane Style-influenced buildings were erected in the small city of Przemysl, which is geographically located between Zakopane and Lviv. You will find the Zakopane style dominated architectural design in the Podhale and other Goral Lands. Although the cutoff date for cabin buildings designed in the Zakopane Style of Architecture is usually held to be 1914, many new log villas and highlander log homes are built according to the architectural model that was devised by Witkiewicz to the present day.
