Holiday apartment in Podkoren: Listed village and old farmhouses

Podkoren is a listed village with preserved characteristic vernacular architecture. The character of the village is particularly evident in the historic farmhouses and the settlement’s valuable design.

Culture

Several farmhouses from the 17th century with typical Alpine architecture have been preserved in the main part of the village. They have a stone ground floor, a wooden upper floor and a shingle roof. In the upper part of Podkoren, the settlement is distinguished by a design of considerable value in terms of settlement history and architecture. There, farmsteads with distinctive residential architecture line the settlement entrance, which expands into an irregularly shaped square. Podkoren is also home to a commemorative plaque for the famous naturalist and inventor Sir Humphry Davy.
