DRǍGHICENI Hut
County
Olt 19th century
The
oldest form of dwelling, of Neolithic origin, the mud, hut was widespread all
over Europe in the Middle Ages. Climate, historic, social, economic and
cultural causes have determined its existence in southern Romania until the
beginning of the 20th century. This one, built around 1800, was brought to the
museum in 1949, having been inhabited until one year prior to its transfer. By
preserving an ancient building technique, as well as by the environment of life
it presents, this mud hut from Drăghniceni village, county Olt as well as the
neighbouring one brought from Castranove, county Dolj, are real documents of
great historical, social and cultural value.
