The Folk Architecture Houses
in Čičmany

Čičmany are known, especially, for the unique painted log houses, which do not have the similarity in the slovak folk architecture.

The first historical mention of the village dates from the second half of the 13th century. In 1907 and 1921, the village suffered two major fires. Newly built houses were built as original wood. A preserved collection of log houses at the bottom of the village was declared a monument reservation in 1977.

Radena's house

The last preserved storey house in the village. The rare wooden storey houses were used by extended families, having as much as 30 members. It presents every life stage, customs, work activities, employment, livelihood, folk architecture and folk clothing.

House no. 42

Was built in 1913 and presents the companion housing, typical for Čičmany until the beginning of the 20th century. Modern exposition is created in the form of diorama – when a visitor enters the building, as a life has stopped in past.
