HALF-BURIED HOUSE ZĂPODENI, Vaslui county, 17TH CENTURY
Valuable document of Moldavian vernacular architecture of the seventeenth century, Zăpodeni is the oldest home in the heritage of the museum, being transferred in 1961.
It is a monocellular house specific to the villages of the cloves from the large Moldovan plateau, built with walls of oak beams joined at the ends in straight "tabs", with a roof in four slopes, with rounded and coating made of reed bundles. At this type of home, the open space characteristic of the traditional Romanian architecture (PRISPA) is replaced by a bench carved from a massive oak trunk. The very small, fixed windows had in the past, instead of glass, sheep bellows. While the interior walls are classed and humble, only the interstites of the beams were glued with clay and then spoiled with hum.
The interior has a simple, but particularly pleasant and practice appearance.
The fireplace is added to the wall to the left of the entrance, and besides the other walls, supported on the peasants in the floor of the floor, they are located on the Pat-Pat and two thick, one made of walnut, another made of oak wood. The furniture of the house is completed by the dowry box and the low table surrounded by four chairs made of tree stools - "Bedrege". The interior fabrics and the peak adorned with the holiday clothes reflect the good taste and concern for the beautiful.
