A triangular space surrounded by former farming homesteads that constitute the historical core of the village. The buildings protrude from the built-up street lines, to the west and north-east. The local landmark is the church of St. Bartholomew from the turn of the 18th and 19th century, probably based on a much older medieval foundation. There are also three other structures standing out of the contemporary village architecture. These three buildings are typical examples of the traditional vernacular architecture in the east of the Haná region.
Homestead No 14 "Gajovo" has an authentic interior layout documenting the way of building and living in the second part of the 18th century. Its name refers to the surname of the last owners. The interiors are laid out in three segments arranged along a corridor with doors to a storeroom and living room. The living room is rather spacious; it suggests that it might have contained a weaving loom as well.
House No 116 on the opposite plot was erected around 1830. It comprises a blacksmith’s workshop, which was established in the 1870s, with authentic blacksmith’s tools displayed inside. In the yard there is equipment for shoeing beef cattle. The house is built from fired and unfired bricks, and the blacksmith’s workshop from massive quarried stone. The roof is clad with fireproof slate tiles.
House No 6 "Klimečkovo" is a home of a rural artisan and smallholder from the 18th century. It is the smallest preserved traditional building in the village and it is situated at the edge of the village common. Its age is documented by a date written on a beam in the living room – 1789. The house served also as a workshop of one of the owners – he ran a small saddlery business, produced harnesses and collars for horses and cattle.
