  • 5/5 Debeli A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Svrzina houses were built in the 18th century and today is one of the best preserved examples of the culture of living and living in Sarajevo in the Ottoman era. It is considered the most beautiful monument of unique traditional Bosnian architecture. It is also called a fairy, although that name does not correspond to what it really is. Everything is made to measure and without excess space. Svrzina house reveals a picture of old times in which the intimacy of family life was completely preserved. The terrace of Svrza's house offers a view of the city. By entering this stunning complex, you have actually stepped into a space where even today you can seem to hear the voices of former residents. It is one of the most famous Sarajevo attractions, which has a relaxing effect on the visitor, and at the same time reveals the special life philosophy of the Bosnian man. Larger copper jugs were most often used for water, and coffee or sherbet was served from smaller jugs ... (Original) Svrzina kuća sagrađena je u 18. stoljeću i danas je jedan od najbolje očuvanih primjera kulture stanovanja i življenja u Sarajevu u osmansko doba. Smatra se najljepšim spomenikom unikatne tradicionalne bosanske arhitekture. Ona se naziva i vilom, iako taj naziv ni izdaleka ne odgovara onome što ona zaista i jeste. Sve je pravljeno po mjeri čovjeka i bez suvišnog prostora. Svrzina kuća odaje sliku starih vremena u kojima se u potpunosti čuvala intima porodičnog života. Sa terasa Svrzine kuće pruža se pogled na grad. Ulaskom u ovaj zadivljujući kompleks, zapravo ste zakoračili u prostor u kojem vam se i danas može učiniti da čujete glasove nekadašnjih žitelja. To je jedna od poznatijih sarajevskih atrakcija, koja na posjetioca ima relaksirajući učinak, a ujedno otkriva posebnu životnu filozofiju bosanskog čovjeka. Veći bakreni ibrik najčešće je služio za vodu, a iz manjih ibrika posluživana je kahva ili šerbe...

    This is a wooden house from the Ottoman period. It is identical to those remaining in present-day Turkey and shows how Muslims lived in those days. It is luxuriously built, showing that it was the residence of a very wealthy person. I was impressed by how well it has been preserved. This area also retains the old town block construction and is a good place for a stroll. 2022 September entrance fee : 3 KM.

    Amazing museum house. I don't know what a previous reviewer was talking about to not expect much! It was even more cool than I expected! Descriptions in every room in English and Bosnian, it's super quiet and peaceful (even on a Saturday when we went), a true glimpse into what life was like during the time period. Come here if you want to be transported to another time in Sarajebo's history! Entry is 3KM.

    This is a little treasure well worth the visit. Authentically furnished for that period it gives an insight into how a well to do Ottoman family would have lived. Because it's out of the centre of the old town, I think many people don't know it's here, only two other people there when I visited. The courtyard is beautiful and very peaceful. Just 3KM entry fee.

    It’s interesting how a big wealthy family used to live back in the 18-19 centuries in Sarajevo. Such house normally accommodate three generations of 15 members of a family, with stables and separated house for housekeepers. Almost every room has a stove nicely decorated , there are shower and toilet rooms also there. Ticket costs 3 MK. Very interesting place!

    This is almost a living history tour. Very interesting home, almost Royal Palace, made if wood, surprisingly survived the many conflicts. There are English placards describing each room, what they were used for, with some furnishings to show how they were decorated. It's amazing to think of a room dedicated to coffee and guests!

  • 5/5 birsen �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) If you like the Ottoman mansion structure, you will be happy to see one that is intact. Haremlik selamlık part, cupboards, kitchen part, courtyard, dining room, guest room ... There were a lot of all there was attentive. Even in the courtyard I think is very nice (Original) Eğer Osmanlı konak yapısını seviyorsanız hiç bozulmamış bir tanesini görmekten mutluluk duyacaksınız. Haremlik selamlık kısmı, dolapları, mutfak kısmı, avlusu, yemek odası, misafir odası... Hepsi birbirinden özenli bir sürü orası vardı. Avluda gezinmek bile bence çok güzel

    For 3 KM the visit is way worth your money! Culture and history will be available. Each room has it’s a own explanatory panel so you won’t be disappointed about not having enough information. The guardian is very kind and helpful as well

    (Translated by Google) An Old House Inside The Svrzo House Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina When It Was Founded The Ottoman Empire Ruled the Region. It is a Branch of the Sarajevo Museum. It Is Typical To Have Living Spaces For Men, Women And Servants. It is remarkable that the house is in an extremely well-preserved condition, because the whole house is made of wood; A Construction Method Not Commonly Used in the Region in Modern Times. It Is Open To The Public For Self Guided Tours And Has Brochures And Information In Many Languages. (Original) Svrzo Evi İçinde Eski Bir Ev Saraybosna, Bosna Hersek Kurulduğu Zaman Osmanlı İmparatorluğu Bölgeyi Yönetti. Saraybosna Müzesi’nin Bir Şubesidir. Erkekler, Kadınlar Ve Hizmetçiler İçin Yaşam Alanlarının Olması Tipiktir. Evin Son Derece İyi Korunmuş Durumda Olması Dikkat Çekicidir, Çünkü Evin Tamamı Ahşaptan Yapılmıştır; Modern Zamanlarda Bölgede Yaygın Olarak Kullanılmayan Bir İnşaat Yöntemi. Kendi Kendine Rehberli Turlar İçin Halka Açıktır Ve Birçok Dilde Broşürler Ve Bilgiler Vardır.

  • 5/5 Iryna G. 1 year ago on Google
    A must when visiting Sarajevo. An old house with beautiful interiors and beautiful antique craftworks showing how a wealthy family used to live. There are lots of interesting household items with detailed explanation - see the toilet and the basin for washing hands on my photos. Edo the guide/ticketseller was very nice and knowledgeable, really loved this place and gave interesting and detailed information on what was not clear - e.g. that there is a small door specifically for visiting neighbours without going to the street! Very interesting place, don't skip it, it's nicer then the bazaar aka old town.

  • 5/5 Leslie S. 10 months ago on Google
    I really enjoyed seeing this museum/house despite how the focus is on the wealthy family who lived there. It was interesting to see what life would have looked like during that time frame. There were signs in English, and I was able to understand more about the architecture and the purposes of the rooms as well as details about the culture.

    A wonderful and informative museum into a part of Sarajevo’s diverse history. A must for a quiet hour away from the busy tourist areas. Along with detailed infographics for each room, the museum’s curator/guide gave interesting insights into the house and answered any general history questions we had about the city. A must see !

  • 5/5 Muna H. B. 2 years ago on Google
    Utterly charming and transporting! I could have spent a whole day here peopling it with my imagination. Mustafa the resident curator shared with me in excellent English details about the useage of the house and its materials. A must-see contrast to the other museums that testify to the awful carnage endured by this magnificent and hardy country.

    A beautiful property which offers a highly personal and intimate insight into Sarajevo’s history. The house is beautifully preserved and has a real sense of atmosphere. I was also lucky to have a tour from Edo whose knowledge is prodigious and who brought the whole experience alive. I would give five stars to him alone! Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Florian S. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice little museum - roughly five minutes from the Bazaar quarter... The house as such is a neat place, offering views of a representative mansion from the Ottoman times. Whilst I was not overly impressed by the interiors, I loved the overall ambience with the courtyard and the balcony...
