Stanišići, Open-air museum in City of Bijeljina, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Stanišići is an open-air museum in Bijeljina containing traditional wooden houses, stone structures, and farm buildings that represent rural Bosnian architecture from different regions. The buildings spread across wide grounds, each maintaining original construction details and interior layouts.
Founded in 2003, the museum was created to preserve traditional buildings relocated from across Bosnia and Herzegovina. The collection rescued these rural structures from neglect and brought them together in one location for conservation.
The site showcases traditional crafts and rural customs through hands-on demonstrations in the various buildings. Visitors can watch people practicing skills like weaving, woodworking, and farming methods that shaped Bosnian village life.
Visitors can stay in modernized traditional houses that retain authentic character while offering contemporary comforts and utilities. On-site restaurants serve regional dishes, making it convenient to experience local food without leaving the grounds.
The complex features Hotel Pirg with two medieval-style towers that blend historical architectural elements with modern hospitality. These towers give the entire site a distinctive silhouette that stands out from the traditional village structures.
