Dominik's homestead

Dominik's homestead

The municipality of Gorišnica boasts a beautiful farmhouse - the Dominik's homestead. According to the experts of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia, it is considered to be the oldest fully-preserved house built in the Pannonian style. It is over three hundred years old. Architecturally, it is one of the typical Pannonian houses, built so that the living and farming part are connected in the shape of the letter L. The building is ‘cimpran’ - built of wooden logs, surrounded by loamy plaster and whitewashed with lime. Small windows with shutters are protected by iron crosses. The tufted gable roof is covered with straw. Inside there are a wonderful "black kitchen", a house, a pantry, a depository, a hall, and a farming part includes a barn, a stable, a cellar, a handy workshop, bedding, and a grain cellar. Everything is equipped with the original equipment, such as was left behind by the last resident. All this reflects the former way of life.
