Decorative roof ornaments

A tradition in Prenčov

Just a 15-minute drive from Banská Štiavnica, this little village boasts something unique: carved gable ends on its houses.

The tradition began here long ago, with patterns in the shape of a cross, a heart or a tree, for example. The carvings have become a village tradition, and even recently renovated houses have them carved into their gables (the small boarded gables beneath the roof).
