Liznjek House is a genuine Slovene Alpine house which was erected several centuries ago, presenting the folk architecture of the 18th and early 19th centuries. Liznjek's house was, for its time, one of the most advanced examples of rural architecture in the area - a prototype that remains virtually unchanged to this day. A basement (stable and cellar) in its entirety, a masonry ground floor, wooden main living quarters, a stone walled ‘black kitchen’, a closet, a wide hall, vestibuled chambers (the two black rooms served as a granary and living room) and a wooden closet above the entrance were all renovated in 1983 when the house was turned into a richly-furnished museum. The basement now contains an exhibition representing the life and work of writer and poet Josip Vandot (1884-1944) and an exhibition gallery for temporary art and museum displays.

The Liznjek House, Kranjska Gora, situated in the old centre of Kranjska Gora, houses ethnological museum collection, which was established after the renovation works in 1983. The building has grown for several centuries and retained a character of the 18th and early 19th century vernacular architecture, now declared a local cultural monument.


Background

Liznjek's house was, for its time, one of the most advanced examples of vernacular architecture in the area - a prototype that remains virtually unchanged to this day. It was the richest homestead with 84 ha of land. Together with a large barn, dated in the year 1796, and the courtyard the Liznjek's house forms a picturesque homestead.

The wooden first floor is a masterpiece of local carpenters with hewed beams bind with profiled prongs [vezava na roglje], wooden corridor with whittled fence, and wooden ceiling inside with rosette, dating in 1781. Notable façade elements are: fresco dating in 17th century, and Baroque portal of green tuff, a product of long stonecutting tradition in Gorenjska region.

Collections

The house is an ethnological monument with a basement (stable and cellar), a masonry ground floor, wooden main living quarters, a stone walled black kitchen, a closet, a wide hall, vestibuled chambers (the two black rooms served as a granary and living room) and a wooden closet [štiblc] above the entrance. The collection presents the living conditions of a wealthy peasant family of the mid-1800s, including the original furnishings, as well as items drawn from the collections of the Upper Sava Valley Museum, Jesenice.

The basement now contains an exhibition representing the life and work of writer and poet Josip Vandot (1884-1944), the creator of the Kekec, and an exhibition gallery for temporary art and museum displays, i.e. in 2009 a temporary exhibition on the History of the Valley and its Heritage.
