Hiša od Bardinca (House of Bardinc) – Open days with guided tours
Jul 27, 2023 - Sep 29, 2023
The stories of the Istrians and their way of life are told in the unique collections on display in the House of Bardinc, in Lopar, a typical Mediterranean house whose primary material is stone.
It was restored in 1999 by the villagers, who contributed documents, photographs and various objects to present local history and ethnology.
The inhabitants of Lopar say that they live on a donkey's back, so it is not unusual that they chose a donkey as their mascot.
The house of Bardinac was built in 1861 and is the oldest building in the village. It houses a black Istrian kitchen, a wine cellar with the oldest wine press in Primorska, a collection of homemade wine, and in the courtyard is the oldest farmhouse in Slovenia, dating back to 1803.
Throughout the year, the house, all its rooms and the courtyard are the venue for various cultural events related to the Istrian people, their customs, traditions and historical memory.
