Dominko Homestead
House and its surroundings
The Dominko Homestead is a characteristic Pannonian L-shaped farmhouse in which the living quarters and outbuildings are under the same roof. The low wooden building, plastered with clay, has a thatched roof. The interior consists of a typical kitchen called 'the black kitchen', the central part called the 'house', a larder, an entrance-hall and an outhouse. A characteristic feature is the extended roof on the courtyard side, which provides a dry passage from the residential section to the outbuildings which are at a right angle to the residential building. Close to the house are two drying racks, one of which is a wicker rack more than 200 years old and covered with straw. The other one is wooden and covered with boards. Behind the house there is a small pool surrounded by autochthonous flora. Cereals and maize, typical of the region, are grown on a field in front of the house.
