Liptov Village Museum Pribylina
About This Museum
You might not guess it, but the charming wooden village you're exploring was actually moved, piece by piece, to save it from being lost forever under a reservoir. This isn't just a static display; it's a living, breathing reconstruction of Liptov life before the floodwaters rose. The heart of the museum is a stunning Romanesque-renaissance curia manor, which serves as a grand centerpiece among the rustic log houses and a small church. On any given day, you could stumble upon the lively sounds of a folk music performance or watch artisans practicing traditional crafts.
Collection Highlights
The star exhibit is the original Pribylina village itself—dozens of authentic wooden dwellings filled with period furniture and tools. Don't miss the intricately carved wooden belfry and the historic Church of the Virgin Mary's Visitation. The curia manor houses more refined artifacts that tell the story of local nobility.
