The houses of Čičmany, Slovakia
All credit for this wobbly and erratic short clip go to my son :-)
The houses of Čičmany are often referred to as the gingerbread houses.
Čičmany is a beautiful little village; nestle in the stunning green valleys of North-West Slovakia.
A little history:
In the late 18th century the local residents of the small village of Čičmany started decorating their houses with lime as a way of preserving deteriorating wood.
Over time this developed into the elaborate patterns you see today.
In 1921 a fire raged through Čičmany almost completely destroying the town.
The villagers rebuilt the destroyed buildings and created new decorative designs.
After being rebuilt the village was then occupied by Nazi soldiers who set the village ablaze during World War II.
After the war, the Office for the Care of Historical Monuments in Bratislava oversaw the second massive reconstruction of the village.
The In 1979 the village was protected by the government as a cultural reservation.
The history of Čičmany has been documented as far back as 1272.
