Skanzen Horácká vesnice: A Step Back in Time

Skanzen Horácká vesnice, located within Centrum Eden in Bystřice nad Pernštejnem, offers an immersive journey into 19th-century rural life in the Horácko region. This open-air museum features a collection of meticulously reconstructed traditional buildings arranged around a charming village square. Visitors can explore seven different structures, each representing a different aspect of village life. These include homes showcasing period furnishings and workshops demonstrating traditional crafts such as weaving, pottery, and milling. You might encounter a herbalist, a beekeeper, or a miller ready to share their knowledge and skills. At the mill, you can even try grinding your own flour. Children will particularly enjoy Babiččina zahrada (Grandmother's Garden), home to friendly farm animals like sheep, goats, and hens that they can feed. Centrum Eden also offers other attractions, including a farm area, the Panský dvůr (Manorial Court) with craft exhibits and a mini-brewery, and the interactive Museum of Soil. Various events are held throughout the year, such as craft fairs, animal shows, and harvest festivals.
