amidzin konak u kragujevcu, milosev venac, zavod za zastitu spomenika kulture kragujevac

The Old House of Radomir Lazović in Toponica is one of the oldest buildings of this type in the Gruža region. The building is situated on a sloped terrain, with high foundation walls on the lower side, and a cellar built on that part. The walls are made of rubble stone, plastered and whitewashed. The roof is gently sloped, with a four-sided pitch, and covered with tiles. Two tall chimneys dominate the roof. The windows on the building are smaller with wooden shutters. The interior features a “house” with a hearth and two rooms. The floor is made of compacted earth, and the ceiling is made of wooden planks.

 

The building appears monumental and is a valuable example of 19th-century vernacular architecture. Its historical significance is further enhanced by the auxiliary structures in the yard: a hayrack, dairy, and granary.
