Sažetak
Antiquities, residential facilities and outbuildings in Lower or South-west and Upper or North-east Moslavina today represent the remains of an old way of building, as well as living in these areas. Their features show that they were influenced by building tradition of the neighboring areas, including the Croatian Posavina, Turopolje, Bilogora and Western Slavonija.
These modest regions were built in balance with nature, free from any pretense or pathos. Thus they stand dignified in their simplicity. The residential culture of country folk in these regions is a result of numerous circumstances which affected its formation. First and foremost, this influence is evident in the size of housing, the number and arrangement of rooms, furniture and equipment as well as household management.
Until the beginning of the twentieth century, people lived in large communal families under the authority of patriarch or head of the household (gazda kuće), i.e. the oldest male member of the communal family.
Wooden house, also called trijem or čardak, but most commonly referred to as hiža or iža, represented a unique and unifying symbol of family and wider community. This was a place that symbolized life itself; a place where family members had lunch, spent their days, where they slept, ate, were born and died. Family house, or the so called družinska hiža, was the place where household members stayed during the day and where the elderly and children slept. Two important components marked family life: a table, with religious icons and personal pictures, memories from the past, hanging above it; and an earthen oven, the main source of heat and a place where household members prepared their food.
