A major place is occupied in Slovenia’s cultural and ethnological heritage by well-preserved old homes and homesteads, including the former dwellings of some important Slovenian figures. Many of them have now been converted into museums. In these homes you can learn all about rural architecture in Slovenia and the way of life among past generations of country people. Alongside the residential buildings, many of these homesteads also feature well-preserved functional structures such as barns, hayracks and mills.
