Prešeren House, Writer's birthplace museum in Vrba, Slovenia

The Prešeren House stands as a traditional Upper Carniolan farmhouse with wooden structures and a stone cellar in the village of Vrba.

The house underwent reconstruction after a fire in 1856, maintaining elements from its original 16th-century construction, including the stone portal in the cellar.

The museum displays period furnishings from Prešeren's time, including original benches, a wooden chest from 1837, and the poet's childhood cradle.

The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 9 AM to 4 PM, weekends from 10 AM to 5 PM, with admission prices ranging from 1 to 3 euros.

The building holds the distinction of being Slovenia's first residence of a notable figure converted into a museum, opening its doors in 1939.
