Čardak <strong>of</strong> the Vratarić-Sukner Family,<br />
Zaklepica, Posavski Bregi<br />
<strong>The</strong> čardak is the traditional wooden house style <strong>of</strong> this area.<br />
It was built in 1782 from hand carved oak plants joined in what<br />
is called the ‘Croatian corner’, with a massive river rock placed<br />
in the foundation. <strong>The</strong> čardak is owned by the Rukavina family<br />
and is one <strong>of</strong> Croatia’s oldest and best preserved examples <strong>of</strong><br />
traditional architecture.<br />
<strong>The</strong> interior <strong>of</strong> the čardak takes us back to the olden days,<br />
with its upper earthen floors, oven and the open hearth.<br />
