| Fenced dwelling house in Szalafő-Pityerszer |
Only six kilometres northwest of Őriszentpéter lies Szalafő, which is the most archaic village in the Őrség region. It consists of eight distinct clusters of buildings, the most attractive of which is called Pityer-szer. Houses in the centre of the village have been fully renovated and, forming a coherent unit, they are open to visitors as museums: a surrounded house (residential and farm buildings form a square that surrounds the yard), a two-level kastu (a building used as cart shed and pantry), a residential building with reeded, thatched roof, and naturally, the barn. |
