description

Upper Orava
The wooden church from the inside

The museum shows village life in the Orava region in the past. It is located at the foot of the Roháče foothills in the western High Tatras . Over 50 houses from different parts of the Orava were transferred to the museum village. The buildings in the museum are mostly originals that originally stood in different locations in the Orava region. They came to the museum because the wooden houses could not be preserved in their original place due to social change after the Second World War. In addition to farmhouses, there are also technical buildings: a hydropower-operated grain mill , an oil mill , a pottery kiln and much more. The museum consists of five assemblies:

  • The market square from the lower Orava: A small town from the western part of the region.
  • The street in the upper Orava: The main street of a village with lined up houses from the colonization of Wallachia.
  • A scattered settlement in the mountains.
  • Above the village which the Holy Elisabeth consecrated wooden church from the early 15th century. The church has a painted ceiling and a small playable baroque organ .
  • Mill, fulling mill and water art.

The museum keeps animals and grows crops in summer.
