Bucovina region is one of the major touristic attractions in Romania, for many reasons, from beautiful landscape, to crafts, customs and the famous world heritage monasteries. The picturesque villages also contribute greatly to the region’s image. Here are four examples of houses in Bucovina, that illustrate the beauty of the traditional local architecture.<\/strong><\/p>\n
So it’s not just the monasteries, which are monuments, but also common traditional homes that are of interest in the area. Some were preserved due to their owners’ care, some\u00a0were restored by enthusiasts and some are well conserved in order to accommodate tourists. Anyway, there are still traditional houses in Bucovina to charm those who visit the region.<\/p>\n
The general traits of these houses are: a bulky aspect, with large hip roofs, a high rocky foundation, wooden walls,\u00a0surrounding porch on three sides with carved\u00a0wooden columns.<\/p>\n
At the feet of the mountains, outside the town of Campulung Moldovenesc, a family bought four old houses, paying around 500.000 euros for the first three, and dedicated itself to bringing life back into them. They preserved their fine architecture and decorated them with old, rare objects that they also recovered.<\/p>\n
The four houses now make up a touristic facility, but are also like an open air museum.<\/p>\n
