Skanzen főépület, History museum and station building in Szentendre, Hungary
Description
The Skanzen main building is an open-air museum in Szentendre that displays traditional Hungarian villages and farmsteads. The site contains hundreds of old houses, barns, workshops, and other structures that keep their original fittings and contents.
History
The museum was founded in 1967 to preserve and display the traditions and cultures of different Hungarian regions. It was later expanded and now shows rural Hungarian history spanning several centuries.
Culture
The open-air museum shows how people lived and worked across different regions of Hungary. The buildings and tools tell the story of daily tasks that remained similar across generations.
Practical
Visitors can walk through the entire site on paved paths and explore all buildings from outside or inside. It is wise to wear comfortable shoes since the grounds are extensive and much is covered on foot.
Did you know?
Every building on the grounds was carefully disassembled, transported to its new location, and rebuilt using original craft techniques. This makes each visit a journey through genuine places that keep their history alive.
