Folk Architecture of the Surrounding of Zagreb

Nada Gjetvaj

Sažetak

At the investigation of the Croatian Ethnological Society, the Ethnographic Museum organized an ethnological research of the metropolitan area of Zagreb. Started in 1969, the research was planned as a long-term action which should encompass larger village settlements north and south of Zagreb. In the recent past, this area witnessed an intensive construction of modern family houses, while the old-style wooden architecture is disappearing. Up to the present the research has been completed in the villages of Resnik and Ščitarjevo to the south of Zagreb, and Čučerje, Markuševac, Šestine and Mikulići north of the city. As a member of the team of researchers, I worked on the theme: Folk architecture and interior decoration. Two types of villages exist in this area: dispersed villages with hamlets in the north, conditioned by hilly land configuration, and street-type villages in the southern plains, where narrow side of the house is always oriented to the street. While types of villages differ in this relatively small area, the house itself shows many common characteristics. In the past, it was always a frame house with a straw roof, its size and interior layout depending on the material status of the family. Very few of such houses as well as other farm buildings, are preserved. Some elements of the old-style building technique, like open-hearth kitchens, are nowhere to be seen any more. Built ceramic stoves in rooms are also rare. Other items of the house inventory and furniture are to be found only as residue. The structure of these villages has been changed by the proximity and influences of the city, as well as by the changes in the village life and economics. The construction of modern roads and houses also contributes to the change in the original outlook of the villages (which date back to the 12th century), and to their gradual incorporation into the urban whole.
