Kitchen, Dębno Castle

In the past, the kitchen was a spacious room, equipped with a large oven called a ‘komin’ (lit. ‘chimney’) that had a brick or stone-lined hearth. Since 1988, the Dębno Castle Museum has housed a meticulously recreated interior of the former kitchen, located in one spacious vaulted room. It is decorated with the oldest form of the kitchen ‘komin’ with eaves, cornice and hearth, over which hang copper cauldrons. There is also a second, 16th-century form of the oven, in the shape of a stone table affixed to the wall, and its exterior – on both sides as well as on the top – is made of bricks. Among the kitchen furnishings are tables, a hanging crockery shelf and two 18th-century polychrome Silesian cupboards. The numerous dishware and utensils collected here are mainly copper, but there are also brass and cast iron pots, pans and cake tins. In addition, stoneware jugs and ceramic moulds for babka cakes or fish jelly are on display. Noteworthy items include numerous grinders for meat, nuts and groats, decorative Art Nouveau iron cleavers, late 19th-century coffee bean roasters and a variety of clothes irons and scales.
