It tells of the structure of the village in the region of Hrvatsko zagorje, the appearance and layout of the curtilages, the living and utility buildings within the curtilage, the architectural elements, the manner in which they are ornamented, and the kinds of building material used in the construction. Thus traditional houses built in stone rubble, stone cottages, and wooden houses, called daub cottages are featured.
