Villa Koliba, designed by Stanisław Witkiewicz in 1892, is the first building in the Zakopane Style, blending local highland building traditions with Art Nouveau elements. Now a museum, it displays original furniture, decorative objects, and architectural details that define this unique style. Visitors can tour the rooms to see how the style integrates wood carvings, stained glass, and regional motifs. The villa itself is a masterpiece, set in a quiet neighborhood away from the main tourist bustle.
