Muzeum v přírodě Rymice, Open-air museum in Rymice, Czech Republic.
Muzeum v přírodě Rymice is an open-air museum in the village of Rymice, 5 km from Holešov, made up of houses no. 6, 14, 62, 64, 65, 104 and 114, a farmstead, a windmill and a Renaissance tvrz. Most buildings stand on their original sites; the houses are clay-walled Haná farmhouses with limewashed walls, a dark plinth and thatched saddle or hipped roofs.
The buildings date back several centuries and showcase agricultural life in eastern Haná, with most structures remaining in their original locations since the 18th century. They were later brought together to preserve and document the heritage of rural communities in the region.
Craft workshops demonstrate traditional blacksmithing and saddlery techniques that visitors can watch in action. These active trades show how people in the region once made their everyday tools and goods.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from May to September, with guided tours available for both groups and individual visitors. It is wise to wear comfortable shoes and allow time to explore the various buildings and working craft rooms throughout the site.
The windmill standing behind house No. 64 was built in 1795 by František Hlobil in Bořenovice and moved to Rymice. A gale toppled it in 1891, and it was repaired. Miller František Sklenář asked to demolish it in 1932 but was refused; milling continued until World War II.
