Open air museum in Bardejovské Kúpele

The Museum of Folk Architecture spans 1.5 hectares and contains 24 period buildings, including log houses, farmhouses, and religious structures from Upper Šariš region.

Established in 1965 as the first open-air museum in Slovakia, this institution preserves architectural examples from the 19th and 20th century Carpathian settlements.

The museum buildings represent architectural traditions of two ethnic groups from the Upper Šariš and Northern Zemplín regions, displaying their living conditions.

The facility operates Tuesday through Sunday with different schedules for summer and winter seasons, offering regular guided tours and educational programs.

Each structure in the collection was carefully dismantled at its original location, transported, and reconstructed at the museum site using traditional methods.
