The former Municipal Office in Kozy
The house, formerly numbered 390, stands on the side of the main road to Bielsko-Biała. It was built around 1860 by a Jewish merchant named Borger who ran a lime kiln in Kozy. Borger used the house as a canteen and a vodka and beer bar. By the end of the 19th century, it became the property of the municipality of Kozy. During the Austro-Hungarian period and between the world wars it housed the municipal office, and in the mid 1930s also served as a school until a new one was opened in 1937. During the Nazi occupation, the building underwent thorough renovation. The characteristic wooden porch on the side of the road was removed and the entrance and staircase were added to the southern side. After the Second World War, the house was used for apartments, one of which was used by the Sisters of St. Joseph. Between 1989 and 2014, the building housed a public library, after it had been relocated from the cramped space of the former community centre. In 1992, the library was expanded by the Adolf Zuber Historical Museum in the attic which gathered local exhibits and historical documents. At the time, the house was also used for meetings of the Society of Friends of the History and Monuments of Kozy. Currently, it is a private property.
