III. The House from Loubí

A unique example of the relocation of a timber-framed house, built at the beginning of the eighteenth century, from the village of Loubí to the Česká Lípa district. The site also features a granary from Ostré near Úštěk. Visit the unique buildings of northern Bohemia and the Central Bohemian Uplands.

The museum is part of the village of Zubrnice, set in the picturesque and dramatic landscape of the Central Bohemian Uplands. The ancient layout of the village square, which is dominated by the originally Gothic Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, has been preserved. The village is characterised by opulent Late Classicist buildings – the consequence of the effective economic exploitation of the local landscape. This involved the cultivation and drying of fruit and the subsequent export of products along the River Elbe to Germany, in particular the lucrative hop trade. Zubrnice has been a protected conservation area since 1995 and makes a particularly attractive impression as a single entity taking advantage of natural building development sensitively complemented by relocated buildings and the unique cultural landscape.

The museum was established as a conservation project, primarily for the Central Bohemian Uplands area, based on village buildings standing on their original sites. These unique buildings will captivate you at first glance. Inside the museum, you will get to see a farmhouse in the village square, a school from the First Republic and a merchant’s store from the 1930s. In Mill Valley, you may be interested in the small working rustic mill and, in particular, the authentic landscape that we are gradually reshaping into the form it took in the middle of the nineteenth century.

In addition to holding large events for the public, the museum also prepares a number of educational programmes, special tours, and exhibitions of traditional folk culture and art. In the main season, you can take a ride on an attractive historical railcar from Ústí nad Labem operated by the Zubrnice Museum Railway Society, which also runs a small museum at the Zubrnice – Týniště train stop.
