Salasul Slovac din Nadlac (19th), Camara cu scara catre pod. Muzeul Satului Banatean din Timisoara
Slovak Bower of Nadlac (19th): the ladder that leads with the attic.
The Slovaks colonized Nadlac between 1802-1805, working the land they received at 15km from the village, and where they built bowers to serve as shelters for people and animals. With an average surface of 2500 square meters, the bowers were formed of a house and household annexes, stables, hangars with racks, barns, huts, pigpens, pigeon coops, fountains with ridge and manger, sometimes granary, place for stocking the folder, workshops and latrines. At the bower there also were beehives, fruit trees and grape wines. During the collectivization the communists erased from the surface of earth all the Slovaks bowers; they were over 800. In the Timisoara Museum, the Slovak community of Nadlac constructed the imitation of a bower (ended in 2007), recovering in this way the memory of a lost lifestyle. The house keeps all the traditional house attributes with the rooms under the same roof: The big room, the porch, the small room, the closet with the ladder that leads with the attic, and the stable.
Nadlac is located 60km N-E of Timisoara, in the Arad County, closed to the frontier of Hungary.
