The open air museum is situated in a meadow at the foot of Ľubovňa's castle. There are 30 or so buildings, many of which were simply abandoned by their inhabitants, fleeing poverty and famine. Many of the buildings are farms and barns, but there's also a school, a mill and, best of them all, a wooden, Greek-Catholic church, transferred from Matysová to the museum. It's possible to go inside and take a look at the partly preserved iconostasis.
This beautiful museum certainly merits a visit. The only downside is, that most of the information is in Slovak.

The folk museum shows you something of what village life used to be like. The houses, school, and church all came from local villages that were depopulated over the last century. The contents are all authentic, too, like these containers for beehives.
