Quick check
By the picturesque backwaters of the Krutynia River, in the very heart of Masuria, there is a large house with a long and interesting history, which we called Stara Papiernia (Old Paper Mill). It owes its name to a paper dryer found in the attic, which initiated our research into the detailed fate of this place.
With the support of our neighbours, indigenous Mazurians, we even managed to find the watermark, which was used by the paper manufactory located in today's Stara Papiernia. Then there were day and night consuming renovations, restorations and refurbishments. Thanks to this, our Stara Papiernia is writing its new history as a place for meetings with family and friends, where nationalities and cultures mix, where Polish cuisine is seasoned with a bit of Maghreb, where we maintain the traditions of the melting pot of nations in the Masurian multicultural land. In a living room with an old but functioning piano, by a tiled cooker from the Nakomiady manufacture overlooking the sunset on the Krutynia River, you cannot help feeling that the world has stopped for a moment, and the legendary Masuria, to which generations have been sighing, is right behind your windows.

During the frantic renovation of Stara Papiernia, we tried to make the spirit of the place felt in all the renovation decisions that have become our daily bread since 2012. Anyone who has ever practised competitive renovation knows that it is an extreme sport. Especially when the renovated building has stood for years purely out of habit, against all building rules and the preliminary assessments of experts. We, however, loved it irrevocably for this determination to exist and paid tribute to it by making the place vibrant again. Now we do not like to call ourselves owners of a guesthouse. We want to invite you to our private house, where people like us come to read a book while looking at the Krutynia floodplain, to talk by the fireplace, to play the piano or to have breakfast enjoying organic vegetables from our garden, and not to look for a TV set in the room with madness in their eyes.
