The Habaner Hof (Slovak habánsky dvor ) in Veľké Leváre in Slovakia is a protected monument of folk architecture.

description

From the settlement, which originally consisted of 30 buildings, 22 buildings are still preserved. The buildings were built around a square made of clay in the middle of the 16th century. The living areas are in the attic. The houses, some of which have several floors, were originally thatched, but now have a tile roof.

The Izerovo House, one of the surviving buildings, now houses a museum, while the other houses are still partially inhabited. In the museum you can visit the facilities that were necessary for the various craftsmen.

The settlement was built by the Habans who settled on their flight in the Záhorie in western Slovakia. It is the largest preserved in Europe.

The Habans who settled there are among the pioneers of pottery in what is now Slovakia.

The settlement was declared a monument in 1978.
