Selský dvůr, Historical homestead in Bolevec, Czech Republic.
Selský dvůr is a rural farmstead in Bolevec that preserves traditional Czech building styles through its collection of structures. The property includes a main residence, barn, granary, storehouse, and stables, with exhibits now displayed in several sections to show how agricultural life was organized.
The property was originally known as Weysovský dvůr before Matouš Vicl took over as owner and gave it its current name during his management from 1635 to 1684. The period of his stewardship established the character that the farmstead maintained through the following centuries.
The exhibitions in the former stables show how rural families worked and spent their days, reflecting the traditions of Czech farming communities. Visitors can see the tools and spaces that shaped the rhythm of countryside life.
After major repairs finished in 2019, visitors can explore free exhibitions spread across the granary and barn sections. Wear comfortable shoes since you will walk between several buildings to see the different parts of the complex.
The site experienced a dramatic jump in visitors after the 2019 renovation, drawing significantly more people than the years before. This surge reveals renewed interest in how agricultural heritage is being preserved and presented to modern audiences.
