RURAL ARCHITECTURE OF GRANARIES AND MAIZE-CRIBS IN SREM

Abstract

Granaries and maize-cribs, examples of rural architecture of exceptionally great cultural value, have been preserved till nowadays in Srem, Voyvodina. Recognized as important elements of our cultural tradition, and as significant cultural monuments of the past times, measures of conservation have been undertaken and these storage objects have either already been placed under the protection of the state, or are wainting for the legal procedures to be completed.

In this paper a survey of other rural architectural objects constructed of wood, mainly those used for storing different kinds of grain, are also given. A typology according to their shapes, modes of construction and funtions is suggested, as well.
