Kolarac, November 9, 2026 — Mountain Shepherds’ Lodges and Vajat Houses

At Kolarac, architect Dr. Duško Kuzović opens a lecture series dedicated to the traditional architecture of the Povlen region, speaking about its rich building heritage. The focus is on summer shepherds’ lodges — kućeri, kulača, log cabins, and timber-frame houses built “na prikovce” — along with the many structural solutions used in vajats. Through concrete examples of buildings and construction methods, the lecture shows how form, materials, and structure were adapted to life in the mountains and to local needs. If you’re interested in architecture, heritage, and traditional building, this is a great chance to discover the diverse architectural forms characteristic of Povlen up close.
