About Sirogojno Open-Air Museum

The “Old Village” at Sirogojno spreads over five hectares, with around 50 log buildings moved here from the surrounding Zlatibor villages from 1980 onwards and furnished as they once were. Wander between farmhouses, barns, bread ovens and craftsmen’s workshops for a vivid picture of family life in the Dinaric hills. On the rise at the centre stands the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, whose iconostasis was painted by Simeon Lazović in 1764. The museum hosts a fair of old crafts and, at the end of July, a world music festival, and seven log houses near the village inn can be booked for overnight stays.
