Swolowo is an example of characteristic rural buildings in the region with the name “Land of the Lattice”. Here it is worth visiting the Albrecht Homestead Museum which is a branch of the Central Pomeranian Museum in Slupsk. Taken over by the museum in 2002 the buildings forming Enclosure No.8 in Swolowo are an example of a typical four-sided farm of a wealthy peasant which was common in Pomerania in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The Albrecht Homestead is not a typical museum. Visitors can take part in the work by looking after the farm animals, see weavers and potters at work and view a film on the Working Farm. Folklore and cultural events are also held here. In the farmhouse there is a museum exhibition about the life of a wealthy Pomeranian peasant from the beginning of the 20th century. The cowshed has a shop selling local handicrafts and a workshop made available for local craftsmen.

The barn houses the machinery, tools and equipment required for working on the farm. On the Homestead is also a restaurant called the Merry Pomeranian which serves old traditional regional dishes.
