About This Museum
People make the journey to Ľutina for a unique reason: to see an entire village of historic wooden churches, all gathered in one stunning open-air setting. You can wander freely between these intricate structures, each one a masterpiece of carpentry built without a single nail. The quiet atmosphere and the scent of old wood make it feel more like a pilgrimage than a museum visit. It’s a profoundly peaceful place that offers a tangible connection to Slovakia's spiritual and architectural heritage.
Collection Highlights
Look for the Church of St. Michael the Archangel with its classic three-section design and distinctive shingled 'helmet' towers. Another standout is the tiny Church of St. Nicholas, whose compact, all-wooden interior feels incredibly intimate and ancient.
