Dyrkowo is a restored barn for wedding receptions of around 100 guests, with 180 m2 of indoor space, a 100 m2 covered terrace and 30 beds on site. It stands in Szyszłowskie Holendry, near Szyszłowo in the Greater Poland region of Poland.
Weddings and receptions
The site presents Dyrkowo as a wedding barn. The main hall covers 180 m2 and the owners describe it as the best size for 100 guests. Walls are clay, the floor is wood and the tables are rectangular and wooden, with wooden chairs. Lights, lanterns, garlands and pennants come with the place. The style is rustic with a boho touch, and the hosts say they are open to any concept a couple brings.
A ceremony can be held outdoors, on a small hill among birch trees. The orchard and the surrounding fields serve as a backdrop for wedding photographs. The owners say they help with every organizational question, from the layout of the hall to the order of the day.
Rooms and capacities
The hall measures 180 m2. A covered terrace adds 100 m2 and can be used for a drinks reception or as an overflow area when the weather is mixed. The restrooms are adapted for guests with disabilities. A parking area is available on site.
Accommodation
The barn offers 30 sleeping places. This is enough for the couple, close family and part of the guest list. Larger groups will need to arrange additional lodging nearby. The site does not state how the beds are split between rooms, so ask about the layout when you inquire.
Catering
The site does not describe an in-house kitchen. It lists partner companies instead: two catering firms, several bands and DJs, videographers, photographers, a wedding planner, a hair and make-up service and a local winery. This points to a model where the couple chooses suppliers from a list of recommended partners. Confirm with the owners whether outside caterers are allowed and what the kitchen setup is.
History and setting
The barn was built in 1897 by the German owners of the farm. It has clay walls and a stone facade. During the war it burned down after fighting between Soviet and German soldiers. Soon after the war, the grandfather of the present owners settled in Szyszłowskie Holendry and rebuilt the timber roof structure by hand. For decades the building stored grain and hay.
In 2017 the current owners decided to marry in the barn, when it was still full of hay, grain and old machines. They converted it in three months with help from friends and family, and they have kept improving it since. The hall opened to other couples afterwards.
Getting there
The address is Szyszłowskie Holendry 7, 62-402 Ostrowite, in Greater Poland, between Poznań and Konin. The site does not give directions, so confirm the route and the nearest station with the owners. Guests arriving by car can use the on-site parking.
