Roznov open air museum

About

Traditional life, forgotten crafts and folk art in Moravian Wallachia are recreated in the largest and oldest open-air museum in central Europe that is located in the town. The complex contains hundreds of centuries old timber structures from the Wallachia region. Take a step back in time to explore this fascinating look at local history while trying your hand at some of the forgotten trades from the past and sampling the local food. The oldest part of the museum is the Timber Town, consisting of houses transported from the town’s main square and an attractive church from a nearby village. See how everyday life was lived many years ago by exploring the cottages and experiencing rural technology in action. Despite centuries of change, this reconstituted Wallachian town has managed to retain its original identity over the years and makes for a fascinating visitor experience for anyone with an interest in the past.
