history
In 1624 the settlement, which had existed since the 13th century, was named the village of Poronin. A chapel was built in 1806 . In 1833 an independent parish was established with the Church of Maria Magdalena .
Lenin
From 1913 to 1914 Vladimir Ilyich Lenin spent the summer months in the Gutów-Mostowych inn. At that time Poronin was more important than Zakopane and the summer residence of famous personalities. Lenin met here often with comrades in arms. After persecution by the K&K authorities , Lenin left Poland.
In 1947 a Lenin Museum was established in the building of the inn. A statue of Lenin was erected on the adjacent square in 1950, a donation from the Leningrad workers . Until the museum closed in 1990, it was a pilgrimage site for supporters from the USSR , Poland and other allied countries. Therefore, all trains had to stop in Poronin.
The museum was closed in 1990 and the memorial was demolished. Today the building houses the community's cultural center.
