Today we will visit, opened just few years ago, special place for people who like alcohol (this is something for you @OlympicIRL @Wumo @Agger @hckošice ) Museum of Polish Vodka It's a museum in the Praga-Północ district of Warsaw, which documenting over 600 years of history and tradition of producing vodka in Poland. The museum is located in the complex of the former Warsaw Vodka Factory "Koneser". The facility is located in a restored historic spirit rectification building from 1897. It consists of three parts: the rectification hall, the main body and the ground-floor hall. The inscription "Spirit Rectification 1897–1970" has been preserved on the front elevation. The architectural design of the museum was selected in November 2014 in an open competition. The multimedia exhibition was designed by Mirosław Nizio. The museum's logo was created by Andrzej Pągowski. The establishment of the facility was supported by the French company Pernod Ricard. The facility presents, among others the development of methods of producing alcohol over the centuries, modern production methods and a collection of bottles for storing vodka. The museum was opened to visitors on June 12, 2018 In the lobby on the ground floor there are, among others, rotating black panels with grain motifs. In the cinema room on the first floor, with the walls and ceiling covered with a copper mesh (this is to imitate the interior of a large vat), 50 seats from the Komedia Theater were installed. Visitors can watch a film about long-time employees of the vodka industry. The original steel staircase leads to the hall from the lobby. The main exhibition consists of five galleries presenting the history and technology of vodka production in Poland from the 15th century to the present day. It shows, an alchemist's laboratory, an inn and a manor house, a diagram of Jan Pistorius's spirit distillation apparatus from 1817, a reconstructed agricultural distillery, and a description of vodka drinking habits. The floors in some rooms are made of alcohol barrels. The ticket price to the museum also includes a voucher for Polish vodka tasting.

Thomas Morgenstern FINALLY got promised bottle of vodka from Piotr Żyła Żyła promised bottle of vodka to him 8(!) years ago, as a present, because Thomas noticed a made mistake by referees during team competition at World Championships in 2013 (with benefit for Norwegian team), due to notice of this mistake referees gave less points to Norwegian team and thanks to this Polish team wins bronze medal at World Championships for the first time ever

Today we will go to Ciechocinek and local... Brine Graduation Towers The Ciechocinek graduation towers are a complex of three brine graduation towers, erected in the nineteenth century in Ciechocinek, in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland. They constitute the largest wooden structure of this type in Europe. The complex of graduation towers and salt breweries, together with two surrounding parks, are designated as a Monument of History. The towers were designed by Jakub Graff, professor of the Mining Academy in Kielce, based on the brine sources discovered here back in the second half of the eighteenth century, although the local community extracted and brewed salt as early as in the thirteenth century under the permissions given by Konrad I Mazowiecki. The 648-metre-long (2,126 ft) graduation tower I, with a capacity of 5,000–5,800 cubic metres and the 719-metre-long (2,359 ft) graduation tower II, with a capacity of 6,000–6,300 cubic metres, were built between 1824 and 1828. The 333-metre-long (1,093 ft) graduation tower III, with a capacity of 2,900 cubic metres, was built in 1859. The base of the towers is made up of 7000 oak piles driven into the ground, on which a spruce-and-pine structure planted with blackthorn was placed, where brine flows. The towers are arranged in the shape of a horseshoe with a total length of 1,741.5 metres ; each is 15.8 metres (52 ft) high. The brine with a concentration of 5.8% is pumped a depth of 414.58 metres (1,360.2 ft) in spring No. 11 (the so-called Grzybek fountain) into dedicated channels at the top of the graduation towers. The brine seeps on the walls of the towers, on the blackthorn, and evaporates under the influence of wind and sun, creating a microclimate rich in iodine, sodium, chlorine and bromine, thanks to which a natural healing inhalatorium developed. The towers are the second stage in the salt production process, where the brine concentration is gradually increased. The smallest concentration occurs at tower No. I (9%); the brine concentration increases at tower No. III (16%) and becomes greatest at tower No. II (30%). From the latter, the brine flows in pipelines to the salt-brewing plant (the third stage of salt production) where salt, sludge and therapeutic lye are produced. The first stage in the process of salt production is pumping brine from the source No. 11 "Grzybek fountain". The graduation towers also act as a giant air filter. In 2017, the complex of graduation towers and salt breweries, together with the Tężniowy and Zdrojowy parks, was entered on the list of Historic Monuments of History.

The second place is... Kruszyniany Mosque It is a wooden mosque located in the village of Kruszyniany, in Podlaskie Voivodeship. The building is the oldest Lipka Tatar mosque in Poland, built on the plan of a rectangle, in specifications of 10 by 13 metres. The village of Kruszyniany was assigned by King John III Sobieski to the Tatars who had participated on the side of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in the war against the Ottoman Empire. After the Lipka Tatars populace settled in the area, the Tatars built the mosque, which was first mentioned in a document dating back to 1717. The present mosque was most likely built in the second half of the eighteenth-century, or in the first half of the nineteenth-century (the exact date of construction of the building is unknown), on the site of the former mosque. In 1846, the building underwent renovation, information about which is found on a stone plaque, next to the women's entrance. The shape of the building resembles the surrounding churches with two towers. The exterior and interior are covered with dark green wood paneling. On the north side, the building is decorated with two towers also covered with wood. On the ridge of the roof there is a third (slightly smaller than the others) turret without windows. It is slightly shifted towards the mihrab. The roofs of both towers and turrets have the shape of a helmet crowned with a crescent moon at the top. The roof of the main part of the building is covered with shingles. The interior is divided into two parts: for men and women. The entrance for women is located on the main axis of the building. It is topped with a triangular tympanum with two towers on its sides. The entrance for men is in the side wall. The women's room is much smaller and is separated from the male part by a wooden partition, in which, at a height of about 1 m, there is a longitudinal slot covered with a white, transparent curtain. The interior is decorated with carpets, and the walls with muhirs - a calligraphic notation of quotes from the Koran. Kruszyniany village was designated one of Poland's official national Monuments of History on November 20, 2012. Its listing is maintained by the National Heritage Board of Poland.

Today we will visit two places... First one is... Church of Assumption of Holy Mary in Haczów Church of Assumption of Holy Mary is a Gothic, log building wooden church from the fifteenth-century, located in the village of Haczów (Subcarpathian Voivodeship), which is designated as part of the UNESCO Wooden Churches of Southern Lesser Poland. The church in Haczów is the largest wooden Gothic church in Europe, and simultaneously one of the oldest wooden framework churches in Poland. The wooden church in Haczów was built out of a wooden framework, raised after 1459, and expanded in 1624 (with the building of the 25 metre starling tower, built away from the church, topped out with a cupola, the creation of windows in the nave, and the building of an earth bulwark) The interior of the church is decorated with a polychrome from 1494 which is most likely the oldest polychrome of its type in Europe, representing the oldest collection of representative paintings in Poland, and later expanded in 1864.

It was mentioned in previous page from FISA document:

We are in 2021, we have songs mostly from 2020, previous monument of history is from 15th century but now we will throw back even way further to... 8th century BC! Biskupin Biskupin is an archaeological site, a life-size model and open air museum of a late Bronze Age fortified settlement in north-central Poland that also serves as an archaeological open-air museum. When first discovered it was thought to be early evidence of a West Slavic settlement, but archaeologists later confirmed it belonged to the Biskupin group of the Lusatian culture (the culture existed in the later Bronze Age and early Iron Age <1300 BC – 500 BC> in most of what is now Poland and parts of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, eastern Germany and western Ukraine) from the 8th century BC. The excavation and the reconstruction of the prehistoric settlement has played an instrumental part in Polish historical consciousness. In 1933 Polish archaeologists discovered remains of a Bronze Age settlement in Wielkopolska (Greater Poland), the discovery became famous overnight. The site was excavated from 1934 onwards by the team from Poznań University. By the beginning of 1939, circa 2,500 m2 had been excavated. Biskupin soon became famous, attracting numerous distinguished guests, including officials of the Marshal Piłsudski government, members of the military, and high churchmen such as the primate of Poland. Settlement soon became part of Polish national consciousness, the symbol of achievements of the Slavonic forebears in prehistoric times. It was called the "Polish Pompeii" or "Polish Herculaneum". The existence of a prehistoric fortress, 70 km (43 mi) from the German border, was used to show that the prehistoric "Poles" had held their own against foreign invaders and plunderers as early as the late Bronze Age. There are two settlement periods at Biskupin, which was located in the middle of a lake but is now situated on a peninsula, that follow each other without hiatus. Both settlements were laid out on a rectangular grid with eleven streets that are three metres wide. The older settlement from the late Bronze Age was established on a slightly wet island of over 2 hectares and consisted of circa. 100 oak and pine log-houses that were of similar layout, measuring circa 8 by 10 metres each. They consisted of two chambers and an open entrance-area. These houses were designed to accommodate 10–12 persons. An open hearth was located in the centre of the biggest room. There are no larger houses that could indicate social stratification. Because of the damp, boggy ground the streets were covered with wooden planks. The settlement was surrounded by a tall wooden wall, or palisade, set on a rampart made up of both wood and earth. The rampart was constructed of oak trunks that form boxes filled with earth. The rampart is more than 450 metres (1,480 feet) long and accompanied by a wooden breakwater in the lake. The oldest remains in Biskupin are the camps of reindeer hunters from 10,000 years ago (Upper Palaeolithic), as well as the Neolithic homes of the first farmers, located east of the Lusatian settlement, and the early Bronze Age kraal, surrounded by a system of ditches.
