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 stone 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.
