Perníková chaloupka, Hunting lodge and museum building in Ráby, Czech Republic.
This Swiss-style timber hunting lodge stands on the southwest slope of Kunětická hora at 307 meters elevation, featuring ornamental woodwork, decorated galleries, and stone foundation construction.
Originally built in 1882 by architect Franz Schmoranz Jr. for industrialist Richard von Drasche-Wartinberg, the lodge served noble guests before being nationalized in 1919 following Czechoslovak expropriation laws.
The building now houses a gingerbread museum with themed zones including fairy-tale displays, traditional confectionery workshops, and exhibits showcasing Brothers Grimm characters like Red Riding Hood.
Visitors can access the museum through local roads from Ráby village, with interactive workshops available for learning traditional gingerbread making techniques and regional confectionery history.
The lodge features a fictional 'Consulate of the Wallachian Kingdom' exhibit and includes a symbolic honey paradise display that explores the role of honey in traditional confectionery production.
