Biłgoraj is a city located on the edge of the Solska Wilderness, founded in 1578 by the Gorajski family, on a hill known as Biały Goraj. In the 17th century, it became a renowned sieve-making centre with its own guild.

The sieve makers from Biłgoraj made their sieves out of wood and nets made of horsehair. They were later sold far from the region, even in many countries of Europe and Asia. The preserved Sievemakers’ Farm with a house built in 1810, a workshop with looms and a woodshed with woodworking tools documents the history and presents it to the visitors.
