History
Kajžnik house, also named Kajžnk in a local pronunciation, was adapted several times, in 19th, 20th century and lately after the fire in 1995–2004, when it was purchased and renovated by the Kranjska Gora Municipality. The two-storey masonry building with wooden corridor at the gable and a typical ground floor plan (room [hiša] with closet [kamra], entrance hall with black kitchen [črna kuhinja], and granary [kašča]) represents a well preserved example of vernacular architecture and was long a home of a typical middle-class farming family. Notable façade elements are also a stonework entry portal, frescoes of Saint Florian and a sundial.
Collections
The ethnological collection consists of 400 objects of folk customs, dresses and other handicrafts' items of the Rateče area. On the ground floor is a reconstruction of black kitchen and pantry, furnished with authentic period furniture, tools and other equipments. On the first floor there is a multi purpose room with a tourist-information corner, where different workshops, meetings, and temporary exhibitions take place. The smaller room houses a historical outline of Rateče. In the attic is an ethnological archive, including a rare 80-year-old film recording of village life, and a computer experience of Planica ski jumps.
The building is one of the spots of the Potato Festival in Rateče organised by the Society for the Recognition of Roasted Potatoes as a Separate Dish since 2000.
