HOUSE FROM RIEČNICA U PONIŠTOV

As several other buildings, this wooden residential house was moved to the Museum from a man-flooded area. The house with three rooms from 1834 has a log chamber in its attic. The roof is again covered with the shingles, that were produced by Kysuce men in the wintertime. The building shows some impressive creative details, e.g. door with an arched portal or the finish and decoration of the roof. The house is equipped with one of the oldest heating facilities - an oven with a smoke being discharged into an attic. Furniture was made by local untrained cabinet-makers, maturists. In the time when Jan Poništ, a village-mayor of Riečnica, lived in the house, up to thirteen people used to stay overnight.
