Liznjek House is a genuine Slovene Alpine house which was erected several centuries ago, presenting the folk architecture of the 18th and early 19th centuries. Liznjek's house was, for its time, one of the most advanced examples of rural architecture in the area - a prototype that remains virtually unchanged to this day. A basement (stable and cellar) in its entirety, a masonry ground floor, wooden main living quarters, a stone walled ‘black kitchen’, a closet, a wide hall, vestibuled chambers (the two black rooms served as a granary and living room) and a wooden closet above the entrance were all renovated in 1983 when the house was turned into a richly-furnished museum. The basement now contains an exhibition representing the life and work of writer and poet Josip Vandot (1884-1944) and an exhibition gallery for temporary art and museum displays.

Other museums and heritage sites in the vicinity include the museum complex Stara Sava (Iron-making, Mining and Palaeontologic Collection in Bucellini-Ruard Mansion, Jesenice, Ethnological Collection in Kasarna, Jesenice), Kos Manor House, Jesenice and Triglav Museum Collection, Mojstrana.
