Abstract

The study focuses on the building history of the house number 2 in Kojecko in the co ntext of a long-term survey of the oldest settlements of vernacular architecture in the Českodubsko region and in Pojizeří. It is a historical homestead with an interesting design. It is important to the knowledge of the development of the two-storey country houses. So far, the survey has focused on the regionally specific building stock of more archaic forms of a two-storey house with a high blocka of living rooms. The documentation of house no. 2 was mo tivated by the effort to supplement the survey with knowledge of the beginning of the ex tension of the type of a two-storey timbered house with a full chamber situated above the living room. The results of the research mainly specified the timeline of the beginning o f the occurrence of this variant of the house in the studied area. The construction of the house took place at the turn of the 17th and the 18th century. To some extent, it corresponds with the general assumption of this time. It builds on previous research, which provided ro ugh dating of the houses with high rooms between 1640s to the 1690s. The survey is supplement ed by an archival search of the building and the urban development of the locality.
