Venkovská usedlost čp. 5 v Kohoutovicích: poznatky z průzkumu patrového roubeného domu na Českodubsku

Abstract

The article summarizes the documentation of house No. 5 in Kohoutovice, which was managed to be documented as part of a survey of the oldest representatives of vernacular architecture in Český Dub area and Jizera river area. This is a historic homestead in an extremely authentic structural form, important for understanding the development of a multi-storey country house. The documentation of house No. 5 was motivated by an effort to supplement and update older surveys, ranking the object among the representatives of the oldest surviving layer of a timber house in the region. The dendrochronological analysis placed the age of this house up to the fi rst third of the 19th century, and this conclusion can thus serve to complete the timeline of the development of the one-story timber house in the region. House No. 5, despite the overall maintenance, shows partial failures of the wooden structures, which may require more extensive replacements in the future. The house is protected as a cultural monument, so even its repairs should be carried out in accordance with monument principles. Apart from the partial modernization of the living area, the homestead has been preserved in an extremely authentic state with a number of valuable elements - for example, a set of historic door panels including fi ttings. It is a valuable representative of the wealthy farmstead in the researched area.
