A folk architecture has been an inseparable part of Slovak rural settlements until now. It has represented enginnering and construction of rural areas and bordering city areas. One of its most significant features is its creation without previous plan or a project, a common background of local economic and material conditions and supplies, then a strong influence by traditions and the last, but not the least is its addjustment with the landscape. Folk architecture is a permanent cultural value of Slovak nation and its maintenance for future generations is an important task for national, but also regional and local governments such as for owners themselves. The situation in the village of Veľké Zálužie and the results of public survey reflecting general opinions of inhabitants towards folk architecture can be an inspiration for conservation of many objects of folk houses still in good conditions and with the proper maintenance of their surroundings that way the future generations will be able to experience traditions and skills of our ancestors and the history in original environment of Slovak villages.
