At a glance
Piłatowszczyzna consists of 15 letters, but only four houses. But what can you expect from Podlasie, the land of the ends of the world? There are so many of them here that you can make rankings of which one is the most final. Asphalt smoothly turns into cobblestones, and after a while into gravel and eternal dust. The roads seem to lead somewhere, but more often than not they lead nowhere, dissolving into marshes. Orthodox cemeteries have Slavic barrows as neighbors, and a Tatar mosque is just a short walk from a Jewish cemetery. You can see this cultural melting pot on a plate, you can hear it in the pronunciation.
Maybe it was this diversity that attracted Bunia to this place? Or maybe it was the Knyszyn Forest, in whose greenery the Green House was hidden, that captivated her? Suffice it to say that in the 1980s she came from Warsaw to Podlasie with a suitcase in her hand and a resolution that from now on she would spend half a year here. She didn't have a driver's license, did her shopping in a mobile shop, and spent most of her time in the garden and entertaining friends. When my sister and I started taking care of our Podlasie Bullerbyn, we refreshed it a bit, making room for 7 guests in two bedrooms and an open attic. The world is rushing somewhere, but here life still flows like water in the ponds visible from the terrace - calmly and without rush. The Internet appeared, but the mobile shop disappeared, so for fresh bread rolls you have to walk 4 km, all the way to Wschodnia Szosa.
If you like this solitude and want to see what God looks like behind the stove, then I invite you to the green thresholds - open from May to the end of September.

I am a designer from Warsaw. I currently live and work here, but I have also lived in Brazil, Portugal and London. I love to travel and move whenever I can. The Green House belonged to my Bunia, who loved the countryside and spent 6 months a year here. Now me and my sister Asia take care of the house. We associate this place with total freedom. As children, we spent long holidays with Bunia, discovering the secrets of the Forest, helping in the garden and inventing new games every day, in one of the most beautiful places in Poland. Now we come here with our families and we are happy to share this unique place with others.
