The Chochoł: a Straw Figure from Bronowice
The chochoł is a straw figure that has long been associated with Bronowice and its folk culture. Its image lives on in the awareness of Kraków residents, above all thanks to literature and theatre.
It is best known from Stanisław Wyspiański’s drama “Wesele” (The Wedding), whose action takes place in Bronowice. In the play, the chochoł appears as a symbol of a strange, dreamlike suspension, and its question “Czy to jawa czy to sen?” (Is this reality or a dream?) has entered everyday language.
Rydlówka and Bronowice in the Background of “Wesele”
Rydlówka is a house-museum in Bronowice associated with Lucjan Rydel, a poet who served as the prototype for one of the characters in the drama. In this way, the site links the history of a family with a literary heritage.
For years, Bronowice has been one of the most frequently cited points on Kraków’s cultural map. Its former rural identity is still present in its buildings and local customs, and District VI Bronowice regularly reminds residents of this heritage.
