The Polish House<\/h1>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

The house was built in 1909 for the Polish farm workers who worked at Gl. Estrup. It is a special house of very high quality. However, it was rebuilt in 1918 because the Polish farm workers were no longer needed. In time, Danish farm worker families moved into the house.<\/p>\n

The Polish law<\/strong>
\nIn 1908, the \u201cAct Concerning the Use of Foreign Workers in Certain Enterprises and Public Supervision Thereof\u201d was enacted.<\/p>\n

It quickly became known as the \u201cPolish Law\u201d because it primarily dealt with Polish seasonal workers. The law established both employment and sickness policies, but it also imposed specific requirements for the houses that Polish agricultural workers were provided with.<\/p>\n

The Polakhuset at the Green Museum was built in accordance with the provisions of the law.<\/p>\n
