Fojtství Jasenná, 18th-century heritage building in Jasenná, Czech Republic

Fojtství Jasenná is a wooden structure from the 18th century built on stone foundations with hand-carved fir tree trunks as its main support elements. The building features a traditional gallery and historically served as an administrative center, with workshops and mills that once operated on the property.

The structure was built in 1748 by Jiří Mikuláštík, continuing a family tradition of administration that started in 1663. Over time, the site became an important center of local authority and economic activity in the area.

The building reflects the crafts and skills that were important to people in this region, with furnishings and objects showing how daily life was organized. Visitors can see the spaces where work happened and understand what mattered to those who lived here.

The Valašské muzeum v přírodě bought the building in 2021 and restored it between 2024 and 2026, keeping it on its original site rather than moving it to Rožnov. It first opened to the public for the summer season of 2026. The house stands on a slope above the church of St Mary Magdalene.

The ornamental painting on the gable's base board carries the year 1748, the construction date of the house. Three quatrefoil ventilation openings pierce the front gable, which ends in a conical cupola topped with a finial. The opposite gable has a cross-shaped opening set in a quatrefoil.
