history
The museum is located in the timber-framed sawmill built by Louis and Rudolf Raphaelsohn in 1884 near the Allenstein city park. With its tall chimney , it is the only remaining relic of the old industrial area of Olsztyn from the period of dynamic development of the city in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. There were other sawmills, a gas works , a machine factory , breweries and a vinegar and mustard factory. Once was on the side of the building for all a pool of water, which served for collecting the floating wood.
In 1930 the buildings were taken over by the municipal utilities. Changes to the building made after the Second World War to adapt it to new functions, such as warehouses, workshops and social rooms, blurred the original function. In 1987 the plant was abandoned and left to decay. In 2010 the building was handed over to the city culture center and in 2011 the renovation work began on the building for the regional center of technology and development, which has been a listed building since 2007. Relics of the building's industrial past were uncovered in the interior and the chimney, which came from the abandoned brick factory in Rozogi, was rebuilt. The project has been through the European Regional Development Fund under the Regional Program for the Warmia and Mazury for the 2007 to 2013 co-financed .
