Martos Country House

Due to its geographical location, the village was quite isolated from the surrounding villages. This factor, among other things, contributed to the fact that many elements of traditional folk culture and folk architecture survived longer in Martos than in the surrounding villages. In the early 1970s, number 101 of the surviving farmhouses was declared a monument, and since 1975 it has been welcoming visitors as a country house. ; According to the master beam, the traditional three-room farmhouse was built by István Nagy in 1871. The walls of the house were built using the so-called swallow-laying method from a mixture of mud and straw. Its facade is made of wickerwork, and the roof is covered with reeds. ; It consisted of a room, an atrium and a kitchen area separated from it, as well as a pantry. The pantry was converted into a room by its original owner. A storage room (pantry) and a stable area are attached to these. Visitors can see the “front house,” or the clean room, the open-hearth kitchen, and the “back house,” or the back room. All three rooms feature colorful original Martos furnishings.
